	Quadratic form -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Quadratic forms over the ring of integers are called integral quadratic forms or integral (Framework consisting of an ornamental design made of strips of wood or metal) lattice s.
		The kernel of the bilinear form B consists of the elements that are orthogonal to all elements of V, and the kernel of the quadratic form Q consists of all elements u of the kernel of B with Q ( u)=0.
		If V is free of (Relative status) rank n we write the bilinear form B as a (Click link for more info and facts about symmetric matrix) symmetric matrix B relative to some (The fundamental assumptions from which something is begun or developed or calculated or explained) basis for V.

	Bilinear operator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		In mathematics, a bilinear operator is a generalized "multiplication" which satisfies the distributive law.
		In other words, if we hold the first entry the bilinear operator fixed, while letting the second entry vary, the result is a linear operator, and similarly if we hold the second entry fixed.
		The case where X is F, and we have a bilinear form, is particularly useful (see for example scalar product, inner product).

	PlanetMath: bilinear form
		We note that for a real positive-definite bilinear form that every subspace is non-degenerate, so this gives the usual result about inner product spaces.
		An inner product space on a vector space is a bilinear form if its field is real, but not if it is complex.

	Symplectic vector space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, a symplectic vector space is a vector space V equipped with a nondegenerate, skew-symmetric, bilinear form Ï called the symplectic form.
		The set of all symplectic transformations forms a group and in particular a Lie group, called the symplectic group and denoted by Sp( V) or sometimes Sp( V,Ï).
		In matrix form symplectic transformations are given by symplectic matrices.

	Pseudo-Riemannian manifold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In differential geometry, a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is a smooth manifold equipped with a smooth, symmetric, (0,2) tensor which is nondegenerate at each point on the manifold.
		Since every positive-definite form is also nondegenerate a Riemannian metric is a special case of a pseudo-Riemannian one.
		The signature of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is just the signature of the metric (one should insist that the signature is the same on every connected component).

		A {\it bilinear form}\/ on $V$ is a map $B:V \times V \to K$ which is linear in both variables.
		Given a basis $v_1$, \dots, $v_n$ of $V$, the bilinear form $b$ is completely determined by the matrix $B$ of values whose entries are $b_{ij}=b(v_i,v_j)$.
		In the case of symmetric bilinear forms, as is probably familiar to you, the simple form is a diagonal matrix.

	All about hypercomplex numbers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		In the first ones complex numbers, instead of real ones, are sed in the bilinear symmetric form, and in the second ones an antisymmetric bilinear form, instead of a symmetric one, is considered.
		However, dislike in bilinear spaces, angle stops being a function of one parameter and now it depends on (n-1) variables, where n is the dimensionality of the fundamental metric form.
		The hypercomplex numbers connected with the forms (5,7) are sometimes called bicomplex as far as their algebra is a direct sum of two complex algebras.

		By definition, a symplectic form on a finite-dimensional vector space E is a non-degenerate anti-symmetric bilinear form $\sigma$ on E.
		One may be more familiar with a bilinear form that is symmetric; when positive definite, such a form is an inner product.
		A symplectic form on a smooth manifold M is a closed smooth differential form $\sigma$ of degree two on M such that, for each m in M, the bilinear form $\sigma_ m $ is non-degenerate.

		It will be no harder to discuss the invariants of symmetric rank two tensors (bilinear mappings V x V -> R, where V is a finite dimensional real vector space) under the action of GL(V), the group of all linear operators on V, and its subgroups, so we'll immediately pass to this level of generality.
		More precisely, the form of the function will change since the names of the points change when we change charts, but the same real number will be assigned to a given point.
		Thus, the O(p,q)-self-adjoint matrices have the form [ A B ] [ -B D ] where A,D are symmetric.
