Vectors in three dimensional space 1978 is a book concerned with physical quantities defined in ordinary 3 space . It was written by John Stephen Roy Chisholm J.S.R.Chisholm , an English mathematical physicist , and published by Cambridge University Press . According to the author, such physical quantities are studied in Newtonian mechanics , fluid mechanics , theories of Elasticity physics elasticity and Plasticity physics plasticity , non relativistic quantum mechanics , and many parts of solid state physics . The author further states that the vector concept developed in two different ways in a wide variety of physical applications, vector notation and techniques became, by the middle of this century, almost universal on the other hand, pure mathematicians reduced vector algebra to an axiomatic system, and introduced wide generalization generalisations of the concept of a three dimensional vector space . Chisholm explains that since these two Technology development developments proceeded largely independently, there is a need to show how one can be applied to the other. ref Chisholm, J.S.R. 1978 p. vii viii ref Summary Vectors in three dimensional space has six chapters, each divided into five or more subsections. The first on Vector space linear spaces and displacement vector displacements including these sections Introduction, Scalar multiplication of vectors, Addition and subtraction of vectors, Displacements in Euclidean space, Geometrical applications. The second on dot product Scalar products and components including these sections Scalar products, Linear dependence and dimension, Components of a vector, Geometrical applications, Coordinate system s. The third on Other products of vectors . The last three chapters round out Chisholm s integration of these two largely independent developments.

Coincident is a geometry geometric term that pertains to the relationship between two Vector geometric vectors . Vectors consist of a magnitude and a direction . Vectors can be said to be coincident when their direction is the same though the magnitude may be different that is to say, they lie one on top of the other. If two coincident vectors were to be normalized shortened or lengthened to be one unit long , the resulting vectors would be identical. The dot product of two coincident vectors is the product of their magnitudes. The cross product of two coincident vectors is a vector of all zeros.

Cosine similarity ref http www10.org cdrom papers 519 node12.html ref ref http www.miislita.com information retrieval tutorial cosine similarity tutorial.html Cosim ref is a measure of similarity between two vectors by measuring the cosine of the angle between them. The result of the Cosine function is equal to 1 when the angle is 0, and it is less than 1 when the angle is of any other value. Calculating the cosine of the angle between two vectors thus determines whether two vectors are pointing in roughly the same direction. This is often used to compare documents in text mining . In addition, it is used to measure cohesion within clusters in the field of Data Mining ref P. N. Tan, M. Steinbach & V. Kumar, Introduction to Data Mining , , Addison Wesley 2005 , ISBN 0 321 32136 7, chapter 8 page 500 ref . Math Cosine of two vectors can be easily derived by using the Euclidean vector Dot product Euclidean Dot Product formula math mathbf a cdot mathbf b left mathbf a right left mathbf b right cos theta math Given two Vector geometric vectors of attributes, A and B , the cosine similarity, , is represented using a dot product and Magnitude mathematics Euclidean vectors magnitude as math text similarity cos theta A cdot B over A B frac sum i 1 n A i times B i sqrt sum i 1 n A i 2 times sqrt sum i 1 n B i 2 math For text matching, the attribute vectors A and B are usually the tf idf term frequency vectors of the documents. The cosine similarity can be seen as a method of normalizing document length during comparison. The resulting similarity ranges from &minus 1 meaning exactly opposite, to 1 meaning exactly the same, with 0 usually indicating independence, and in between values indicating intermediate similarity or dissimilarity. In the case of information retrieval , the cosine similarity of two documents will range from 0 to 1, since the term frequencies tf idf weights cannot be negative. The angle between two term frequency vectors cannot be greater than 90 . T ... more details
