Subject: | [Axiom-mail] Solving vector equations; is this possible? |
Date: | Fri, 1 Jun 2012 07:37:07 +0000 |
Can someone tell me if the following can be solved in Axiom, and hence whether I should bother learning the system?
I
have two equations in vectors of arbitrary dimension: z = y + ax (a is scalar, x,y,z vector) & p^t z = 0
(p
another vector). Vectors x,y,p
are known, vector z and scalar a are unknown. Assume
no two known vectors are orthogonal.
The solution of this is z = y + a x where a = -(p^t y) / (p^t x). Is this expressible and solvable in Axiom?
Victor.
