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.
However, when approaching multiplication problems, the commutative and associative properties allow us to write the multiplicands in any order. The Commutative Property. The commutative property of multiplication states that when two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the numbers. This property is straightforward and easy to remember.
