Geometry - Object

About

Viz - Graphic Object in Geometry

An object can be:

  • a pre-defined shape
  • or an arbitrary one defined with the help of a path.

Notion

Notions such as:

  • The length of a vector
  • The angle between two vectors.

are introduced with the inner product of two vectors

Object

Containing the origin

A geometric object (point, line, plane, …) which contains the origin can be representing by a subset of F^D in two different ways :

  • Span of some vectors
  • Solution set of some system of linear equations with zero right-hand sides
Representation Line Plan
Picture
Span of some vectors
( subset of F^D )
The Span of one “3-vectors” is
a line through the origin in three dimensions

Span {[1, 2, -2]}
The Span of two “3-vectors” is
a plane through the origin in three dimensions

Span {[4,-1,1], [0, 1, 1]}

This plane contains this two lines:
- Span {[4,-1,1]}
- Span {[0,1,1]}
Solution set of system
of linear equations
with zero right-hand sides
( subset of F^D )
{[x, y, z] : [1,2,-2] . [x, y, z] = 0} {[x, y, z] : [4,-1, 1].[x, y, z] = 0, [0, 1, 1].[x, y, z] = 0}
  • Point: Zero-dimensional: Span of the empty set: The origin

Not containing the origin

A geometric object (point, line, plane, …) can be expressed as the solution set of a system of linear equations.

<math>\{x : \alpha_1 . x = \beta_1 , ... \alpha_n = \beta_n\}</math>
