Rules for positive definite matrix.

What are they? My text book explains them in a very confusing way.

Also:

"A matrix A is said to be positive definite if it is symmetric and if and only if each of its leading principal sub matrices has a positive determinate"

How do I get the leading principal sub matrices?

I think if you read what I have explained this then you will understand every thing about positive definite matrices. And all about principal sub matrices. Any problem please comment.

In my text book it states: The relative atomic mass of an element is the average mass of an atom of the element, taking into account all its isotopes and their relative abundance, compared to one atom of carbon 12. At the same time it states that generally, the relative atomic mass is the mass of one mole of atoms of an element. So is it the mass of one moles of atoms of an element or the average mass...

1) based on the text What does the text imply is the positive return from "investing" in accounts receivables? As is true of other current assets, accounts receivable should be thought of as an investment. The level of accounts receivable should not be judged too high or too low based on historical standards of industry norms, but rather the test should be whether the level of return we are able to earn from this asset equals or exceeds the potential gain...

the text explains what are casualty and theft losses that an individual may deduct, even though the losses are related to personal use property. The text gives examples of occurrences that cause losses that do not qualify as casualty losses, and states that misplacing items does not count as a “theft.” However, the IRS gives more detailed guidance on these issues. What occurrences do not result in deductible casualty losses according to the IRS in addition to those listed in...
