- Tensor product
mathematics A function of two vector spaces, U and V, which returns the space of linear maps from V’s dual to U. Tensor product has natural symmetry in interchange of U and V and it produces an associative “multiplication” on vector spaces. Wrinting * for tensor product, we can map UxV to U*V via: (u,v) […]
