and Matrix Representation Homogeneous Coordinates Homogenous coordinates utilize a mathematical trick to embed three-dimensional coordinates and transformations into a four-dimensional matrix format. As a result‚ inversions or combinations of linear transformations are simplified to inversion or multiplication of the corresponding matrices. Homogenous coordinates also make it possible to define perspective transformations. Homogenous coordinates allow each point (x‚ y‚ z) to be represented

1 DEFINITION OF LINEAR PROGRAMMING (LP) Linear programming (LP) is a mathematical technique used in finding the best possible allocation of resources to achieve the best outcome‚ which is maximising profit or minimising cost. However‚ it is only applicable where there is a linear relationship between the variables. For example‚ the linear relationships between hours of labour and output in a textiles factory means an increase or decrease in labour force has a direct impact on production‚ which

In physics‚ elasticity is the tendency of solid materials to return to their original shape after being deformed. Solid objects will deform when forces are applied on them. If the material is elastic‚ the object will return to its initial shape and size when these forces are removed. The physical reasons for elastic behavior can be quite different for different materials. In metals‚ the atomic lattice changes size and shape when forces are applied (energy is added to the system). When forces are

Forecasting Models: Associative and Time Series Forecasting involves using past data to generate a number‚ set of numbers‚ or scenario that corresponds to a future occurrence. It is absolutely essential to short-range and long-range planning.
