Motor Variable

Motor Variable

A function of a motor variable is a function with arguments and values in the split-complex number plane, much as functions of a complex variable involve ordinary complex numbers. The split-complex numbers lie in the motor plane D, a term referring to algebraic kinematics developed by William Kingdon Clifford.

For example,

Analogous to planar mapping with ordinary complex number variables, functions depending on a motor variable provide a tool for mathematical models.

Famous quotes containing the words motor and/or variable:

    We disparage reason.
    But all the time it’s what we’re most concerned with.
    There’s will as motor and there’s will as brakes.
    Reason is, I suppose, the steering gear.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Walked forth to ease my pain
    Along the shore of silver streaming Thames,
    Whose rutty bank, the which his river hems,
    Was painted all with variable flowers,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
