Active Transformations

1. Above, pseudovectors have been discussed using active transformations. (Web site)

Axial Vectors

1. These are called pseudovectors (or axial vectors), and most commonly occur as cross products of true vectors. (Web site)

Vector

1. The terms scalar and vector as used here include pseudoscalars and pseudovectors or axial vectors (see also below). (Web site)

Polar Vectors

1. Ordinary vectors are sometimes called true vectors or polar vectors to distinguish them from pseudovectors.
2. Sometimes axial vectors are called pseudovectors and ordinary position vectors are called polar vectors. (Web site)

Polar Vector

1. Any polar vector (e.g., a translation vector) would be unchanged, but pseudovectors (e.g., the magnetic field vector at a point) would switch signs. (Web site)

Product

1. Pseudovectors occur most frequently as the cross product of two ordinary vectors.

Bivector

1. Many occurrences of pseudovectors in mathematics and physics are more naturally analyzed as bivector.

Bivectors

1. Bivectors are connected to pseudovectors, and are used to represent rotations in geometric algebra. (Web site)
2. Many occurrences of pseudovectors in mathematics and physics are more naturally analyzed as bivectors.

Vectors

1. To distinguish vectors from pseudovectors, the former are sometimes called polar vectors. (Web site)
2. However, the weak force, which governs beta decay, does depend on the chirality of the universe, and in this case pseudovectors and vectors are added. (Web site)

Pseudovector

1. More generally, the result of a cross product may be either a vector or a pseudovector, depending on the type of its operands (vectors or pseudovectors).
2. In three dimensions angular velocity can be represented by a pseudovector because second rank tensors are dual to pseudovectors in three dimensions. (Web site)

Pseudovectors

1. Other examples of pseudovectors include magnetic field, torque, or more generally any cross product of two (true) vectors.
2. Examples of pseudovectors include magnetic field, torque, and angular momentum. (Web site)
