		Lessons on Dual Numbers This is an outline of some lessons on dual numbers, suitable for a second-year algebra course after a chapter on the algebra of complex numbers.
		We think of D as a very small number whose square is "too small to be seen." Naturally no real numbers have this property, but since the students have studied complex numbers already, this should not cause them to fall out of their chairs.
		With complex numbers we use the fact that (0 -1)^2 (-1 0) (1 0) = (0 -1) to identify the complex number a + b*i with the matrix (a -b) (b a).

	Dual space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the language of category theory, taking the dual of vector spaces and the transpose of linear maps is therefore a contravariant functor from the category of vector spaces over F to itself.
		The continuous dual V′ of a normed vector space V (e.g., a Banach space or a Hilbert space) forms a normed vector space.
		This turns the continuous dual into a normed vector space, indeed into a Banach space so long as the underlying field is complete which is often included in the definition of the normed vector space.

	Dual numbers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The plane of all dual numbers is an "alternative complex plane" that complements the ordinary complex number plane C and the plane of split-complex numbers.
		The "unit circle" of dual numbers consists of those with a = 1 or -1 since these satisfy z z * = 1 where z * = a - bε.
		As a consequence, we see that the dual numbers over any field (or any commutative local ring) form a local ring.

	Center for Immigration Studies
		The 2001 legal immigration number is expected to be actually something like 1.5 million, just legal immigrants, not even counting illegal immigrants, and 90 percent of them come from countries that allow some form of dual citizenship.
		So dual citizenship in the nineteenth century context was akin to putting individuals in a situation similar to contested territory, and states ended up fighting over their claim to individuals and these dispute could be quite intense.
		Dual citizenship involves people who are here as permanent residents already, so when we're looking at assimilation questions we're facing those questions outside of the citizenship context.

	Community College Review: A comparison of learning outcomes for dual-enrollment mathematics students taught by high ...
		Dual enrollment courses were not offered during the summer terms at the district high schools; therefore, no summer terms are included in the study.
		Of the 1,833 students identified as having taken a dual enrollment mathematics course during the five-year period studied, 754 students were found to have taken subsequent coursework in mathematics at one of Florida's 10 state universities as of spring 2000.
		Dual enrollment students taught by high school teachers were better prepared for subsequent coursework at the university level than were those taught by college faculty.

	Dual Citizenship in Australia (Current Issues Brief 5 2000-01)
		The strongest argument in favour of dual citizenship at the beginning of the new millennium in Australia is the estimated 4-5 million Australians-people who have migrated and taken out Australian citizenship, and their children-who are already dual citizens.
		Australian governments have in the past resisted dual citizenship, because of the notion that citizenship reflects a person's allegiance and commitment to the nation, and perhaps to allay concerns regarding the incorporation of large numbers of immigrants from increasingly diverse sources.
		While dual (or multiple) citizenship may pay off for awhile in the global marketplace, and at the individual level, it continues to add to a sense in the broader community of erosion of social values and political and legal structures.

		Dual citizenship, especially when it entails active participation in the political life of an immigrant's home country, leads to conflicts of interest, attention, and attachment.
		An American dual citizen domiciled in a foreign country would have to return to this country one year prior to the election in which he or she wished to vote, or not be able to do so.
		The problem of dual citizens, or even American citizens with strong homeland feelings, entering into combat in one form or another in their countries of origin is certainly not as large a problem numerically as the issue of foreign voting; the numbers are most likely very small.

		Their sheer numbers give dual citizens the potential to profoundly influence the character of today's nations-the real question is how.
		In 1915, Theodore Roosevelt called the "theory of dual nationality" a "self-evident absurdity." After nearly a century, attitudes have changed dramatically: in 2002, 92 countries allowed some form of dual citizenship, and more are added to the list every year.
		Most significantly, dual citizens owe allegiance and obedience to more than one country, which sometimes entails obligations to laws, taxes, and military service.

		If you are a dual eligible (or a caregiver), and you have not received the yellow letter, it is suggested that you contact the Medicare hotline to request this information.
		When the caller is connected to a Social Security agent, the caller should request confirmation of the dual eligible's date of first entitlement for Medicare (and the caller may want to add that this information is necessary to switch drug plans in the Medicare Part D system).

	AskTom "All about the DUAL table " (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The advantage to dual is the optimizer understands dual is a special one row, one column table -- when you use it in queries, it uses this knowledge when developing the plan.
		select * from dual, dual; would be the same as: select dual.dummy, dual.dummy from dual, dual; where as: select * from dual, (select * from dual) is the same as: select dual.dummy, .dummy from dual, (select * from dual); where anonymous is like "null" - no anonymous equates to anyother anonymous.
		I find dual to be no used in "real queries" and when it is, it is in a construct like: select * from t where x = (select foo() from dual); meaning, the cardinality of dual is not excessively relevant.

		Surreal numbers are a beautiful, simple, set-based construction that allows you to create and represent all real numbers, so that they behave properly; and in addition, it allows you to create infinitely large and infinitely small values, and have them behave and interact in a consistent way with the real numbers in their surreal representation.
		Given any surreal number {LR}, the value that it represents is the value between the largest value in L and the smallest value in R with the earliest birthday (or, equivalently, the lowest ordinal).

		Given any vector space V over some field F, we define the dual space V* to be the set of all linear functionals on F, i.e., scalar-valued linear transformations on V (in this context, a "scalar" is a member of the base-field F).
		This turns the continuous dual into a normed vector space, indeed into a Banach space.
		In analogy with the case of the algebraic double dual, there is always a naturally defined injective continuous linear operator Ψ : V → V '' from V into its continuous double dual V ''.

	Dual-specific T cells combine proliferation and antitumor activity - Nature Biotechnology
		The transfer of large numbers of alloreactive T cells, and the further generation of alloreactive T cells in vivo after immunization, could conceivably lead to the activation of T cells cross-reactive with autoantigens.
		We have focused on the effect of immunization on the numbers of dual-specific T cells in vivo, and it is likely that the increase in these cells contributes to the observed antitumor effect.
		In our approach, large numbers of adoptively transferred T cells persist (and probably expand), and in vitro reactivity is high; however, improvements could perhaps be achieved by modifying the culture or transduction conditions or by minimizing in vitro culture.

		Given any vector space V over some field F, we define the dual space V* to be the set of all linear functions from V to F. These linear functions to the base field are also called linear functionals.
