Product (business)
In marketing, a product is an object, or system, or service made available for consumer use as of the consumer demand; it is anything that can be offered to a market to satisfy the desire or need of a customer. In retailing, products are often referred to as '' merchandise'', and in manufacturing, products are bought as raw materials and then sold as finished goods. A service is also regarded as a type of product. In project management, products are the formal definition of the project deliverables that make up or contribute to delivering the objectives of the project. A related concept is that of a sub-product, a secondary but useful result of a production process. Dangerous products, particularly physical ones, that cause injuries to consumers or bystanders may be subject to product liability. Product classification A product can be classified as tangible or intangible. A tangible product is an actual physical object that can be perceived by touch such as a building, ve ...

Multiplication Of Vectors
In mathematics, vector multiplication may refer to one of several operations between two (or more) vectors. It may concern any of the following articles: * Dot product – also known as the "scalar product", a binary operation that takes two vectors and returns a scalar quantity. The dot product of two vectors can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors and the cosine of the angle between the two vectors. Alternatively, it is defined as the product of the projection of the first vector onto the second vector and the magnitude of the second vector. Thus, *::A ⋅ B = , A, , B, cos θ ** More generally, a bilinear product in an algebra over a field. * Cross product – also known as the "vector product", a binary operation on two vectors that results in another vector. The cross product of two vectors in 3-space is defined as the vector perpendicular to the plane determined by the two vectors whose magnitude is the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors ...

Product (category Theory)
In category theory, the product of two (or more) objects in a category is a notion designed to capture the essence behind constructions in other areas of mathematics such as the Cartesian product of sets, the direct product of groups or rings, and the product of topological spaces. Essentially, the product of a family of objects is the "most general" object which admits a morphism to each of the given objects. Definition Product of two objects Fix a category C. Let X_1 and X_2 be objects of C. A product of X_1 and X_2 is an object X, typically denoted X_1 \times X_2, equipped with a pair of morphisms \pi_1 : X \to X_1, \pi_2 : X \to X_2 satisfying the following universal property: * For every object Y and every pair of morphisms f_1 : Y \to X_1, f_2 : Y \to X_2, there exists a unique morphism f : Y \to X_1 \times X_2 such that the following diagram commutes: *: Whether a product exists may depend on C or on X_1 and X_2. If it does exist, it is unique up to canonical isomor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Monoidal Category
In mathematics, a monoidal category (or tensor category) is a category \mathbf C equipped with a bifunctor :\otimes : \mathbf \times \mathbf \to \mathbf that is associative up to a natural isomorphism, and an object ''I'' that is both a left and right identity for ⊗, again up to a natural isomorphism. The associated natural isomorphisms are subject to certain coherence conditions, which ensure that all the relevant diagrams commute. The ordinary tensor product makes vector spaces, abelian groups, ''R''-modules, or ''R''-algebras into monoidal categories. Monoidal categories can be seen as a generalization of these and other examples. Every (small) monoidal category may also be viewed as a "categorification" of an underlying monoid, namely the monoid whose elements are the isomorphism classes of the category's objects and whose binary operation is given by the category's tensor product. A rather different application, of which monoidal categories can be considered an abstractio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wedge Sum
In topology, the wedge sum is a "one-point union" of a family of topological spaces. Specifically, if ''X'' and ''Y'' are pointed spaces (i.e. topological spaces with distinguished basepoints x_0 and y_0) the wedge sum of ''X'' and ''Y'' is the quotient space of the disjoint union of ''X'' and ''Y'' by the identification x_0 \sim y_0: X \vee Y = (X \amalg Y)\;/, where \,\sim\, is the equivalence closure of the relation \left\. More generally, suppose \left(X_i\right)_ is a indexed family of pointed spaces with basepoints \left(p_i\right)_. The wedge sum of the family is given by: \bigvee_ X_i = \coprod_ X_i\;/, where \,\sim\, is the equivalence closure of the relation \left\. In other words, the wedge sum is the joining of several spaces at a single point. This definition is sensitive to the choice of the basepoints \left(p_i\right)_, unless the spaces \left(X_i\right)_ are homogeneous. The wedge sum is again a pointed space, and the binary operation is associative and commuta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Smash Product
In topology, a branch of mathematics, the smash product of two pointed spaces (i.e. topological spaces with distinguished basepoints) (''X,'' ''x''0) and (''Y'', ''y''0) is the quotient of the product space ''X'' × ''Y'' under the identifications (''x'', ''y''0) ∼ (''x''0, ''y'') for all ''x'' in ''X'' and ''y'' in ''Y''. The smash product is itself a pointed space, with basepoint being the equivalence class of (''x''0, ''y''0). The smash product is usually denoted ''X'' ∧ ''Y'' or ''X'' ⨳ ''Y''. The smash product depends on the choice of basepoints (unless both ''X'' and ''Y'' are homogeneous). One can think of ''X'' and ''Y'' as sitting inside ''X'' × ''Y'' as the subspaces ''X'' × and × ''Y''. These subspaces intersect at a single point: (''x''0, ''y''0), the basepoint of ''X'' × ''Y''. So the union of these subspaces can be identified with the wedge sum ''X'' â ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Slant Product
In algebraic topology the cap product is a method of adjoining a chain of degree ''p'' with a cochain of degree ''q'', such that ''q'' ≤ ''p'', to form a composite chain of degree ''p'' − ''q''. It was introduced by Eduard Čech in 1936, and independently by Hassler Whitney in 1938. Definition Let ''X'' be a topological space and ''R'' a coefficient ring. The cap product is a bilinear map on singular homology and cohomology :\frown\;: H_p(X;R)\times H^q(X;R) \rightarrow H_(X;R). defined by contracting a singular chain \sigma : \Delta\ ^p \rightarrow\ X with a singular cochain \psi \in C^q(X;R), by the formula : : \sigma \frown \psi = \psi(\sigma, _) \sigma, _. Here, the notation \sigma, _ indicates the restriction of the simplicial map \sigma to its face spanned by the vectors of the base, see Simplex. Interpretation In analogy with the interpretation of the cup product in terms of the Künneth formula, we can explain the existence of the cap product in the following w ...

Cup Product
In mathematics, specifically in algebraic topology, the cup product is a method of adjoining two cocycles of degree ''p'' and ''q'' to form a composite cocycle of degree ''p'' + ''q''. This defines an associative (and distributive) graded commutative product operation in cohomology, turning the cohomology of a space ''X'' into a graded ring, ''H''∗(''X''), called the cohomology ring. The cup product was introduced in work of J. W. Alexander, Eduard Čech and Hassler Whitney from 1935–1938, and, in full generality, by Samuel Eilenberg in 1944. Definition In singular cohomology, the cup product is a construction giving a product on the graded cohomology ring ''H''∗(''X'') of a topological space ''X''. The construction starts with a product of cochains: if \alpha^p is a ''p''-cochain and \beta^q is a ''q''-cochain, then :(\alpha^p \smile \beta^q)(\sigma) = \alpha^p(\sigma \circ \iota_) \cdot \beta^q(\sigma \circ \iota_) where σ is a singular (''p'' + ''q'') -simplex and ...

Product Topology
In topology and related areas of mathematics, a product space is the Cartesian product of a family of topological spaces equipped with a natural topology called the product topology. This topology differs from another, perhaps more natural-seeming, topology called the box topology, which can also be given to a product space and which agrees with the product topology when the product is over only finitely many spaces. However, the product topology is "correct" in that it makes the product space a categorical product of its factors, whereas the box topology is too fine; in that sense the product topology is the natural topology on the Cartesian product. Definition Throughout, I will be some non-empty index set and for every index i \in I, let X_i be a topological space. Denote the Cartesian product of the sets X_i by X := \prod X_ := \prod_ X_i and for every index i \in I, denote the i-th by \begin p_i :\;&& \prod_ X_j &&\;\to\; & X_i \\ .3ex && \left(x_j\r ...

Tensor Product
In mathematics, the tensor product V \otimes W of two vector spaces and (over the same field) is a vector space to which is associated a bilinear map V\times W \to V\otimes W that maps a pair (v,w),\ v\in V, w\in W to an element of V \otimes W denoted v \otimes w. An element of the form v \otimes w is called the tensor product of and . An element of V \otimes W is a tensor, and the tensor product of two vectors is sometimes called an ''elementary tensor'' or a ''decomposable tensor''. The elementary tensors span V \otimes W in the sense that every element of V \otimes W is a sum of elementary tensors. If bases are given for and , a basis of V \otimes W is formed by all tensor products of a basis element of and a basis element of . The tensor product of two vector spaces captures the properties of all bilinear maps in the sense that a bilinear map from V\times W into another vector space factors uniquely through a linear map V\otimes W\to Z (see Universal property).

Triple Product
In geometry and algebra, the triple product is a product of three 3-dimensional vectors, usually Euclidean vectors. The name "triple product" is used for two different products, the scalar-valued scalar triple product and, less often, the vector-valued vector triple product. Scalar triple product The scalar triple product (also called the mixed product, box product, or triple scalar product) is defined as the dot product of one of the vectors with the cross product of the other two. Geometric interpretation Geometrically, the scalar triple product : \mathbf\cdot(\mathbf\times \mathbf) is the (signed) volume of the parallelepiped defined by the three vectors given. Here, the parentheses may be omitted without causing ambiguity, since the dot product cannot be evaluated first. If it were, it would leave the cross product of a scalar and a vector, which is not defined. Properties * The scalar triple product is unchanged under a circular shift of its three operands (a, b, c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
