In its Fifth Assessment Report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations, concluded there's a more than 95 percent probability that human activities over the past 50 years have warmed our planet.
Scalar multiplication of two vectors (to give the so-called dot product) is commutative (i.e., aÂ·b = bÂ·a), but vector multiplication (to give the cross product) is not (i.e., a Ã b = âb Ã a). The commutative law does not necessarily hold for multiplication of conditionally convergent series.
Written By: Commutative law, in mathematics, either of two laws relating to number operations of addition and multiplication, stated symbolically: a + b = b + a and ab = ba. From these laws it follows that any finite sum or product is unaltered by reordering its terms or factors.
