Let $${v_1} = \left[ {\matrix{ 1 \cr 2 \cr 0 \cr } } \right]$$ and $${v_2} = \left[ {\matrix{ 2 \cr 1 \cr 3 \cr } } \right]$$ be two vectors. The value of the coefficient $$\alpha$$ in the expression $${v_1} = \alpha {v_2} + e$$, which minimizes the length of the error vector e, is

The rate of increase, of a scalar field $$f(x,y,z) = xyz$$, in the direction $$v = (2,1,2)$$ at a point (0,2,1) is

The value of the contour integral, $$\oint\limits_C {\left( {{{z + 2} \over {{z^2} + 2z + 2}}} \right)dz} $$, where the contour C is $$\left\{ {z:\left| {z + 1 - {3 \over 2}j} \right| = 1} \right\}$$, taken in the counter clockwise direction, is

Let the sets of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix B be $$\{ {\lambda _k}|1 \le k \le n\} $$ and $$\{ {v_k}|1 \le k \le n\} $$, respectively. For any invertible matrix P, the sets of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix A, where $$B = {P^{ - 1}}AP$$, respectively, are
