Well since my last puzzle that contained math seemed to be appreciated by some weird people, i decided to make another one.
This time it might appear more complicated. But it isnt...(at least when you have some basic knowledge of Vector algebra, and the operations used here are easy to learn for those who are willing to...).

The 5 numbers of the code represent the corosponding letters in the common alphabet. Cases are: low-Up-Up-low-low.
There are 4 GAs behind this code you can win, but as always dont expect anything fancy. You're doing this just for fun ;)

What should it look like in your opinion? :P I'm pretty sure about it, since otherwise all i have learned and wikipedia as well are wrong xD

For example : (u1,u2,u3)∧(v1,v2,v3)

let me quote from wiki:

[...] is denoted by a × b. In physics, sometimes the notation a ∧ b is used, though this is avoided in mathematics to avoid confusion with the exterior product.

So it seems we're both kinda right. I learned the first case however and never seen the second before, even in physics-classes at university^^

AH OK my bad... I'm french and we don't have the same symbol for the vector product...

interesting...for me the symbol ∧ is always the sign for a logical conjunction of "AND" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunction

No, wrong that is not the same...

ça c'est pour la théorie des ensembles et la logique ensembliste.
Symbole distinct de celui pour la logique booléenne !

I was about to explain the difference but I guess from appearance of terms 'logique' and 'booléenne' that I think I can understand even if I don't know French that it's already done :D math as universal language of all nations! :D

Well, thanks to common efforts and standardization !

What is the answer for that ? :P
VII - VII = ?

Well I guess there's a catch in that question, or I am missing something, but due to roman system of numbers it's zero/nothing :D

For Romans 'nothing' is not number and no need symbol.
My answer:
VII - VII =

That's why I wrote 'nothing' and didn't use symbolic zero (0) I just preferred to make it more 'verbal' than empty space :D but got the point :P maybe empty space would be better, actually never thought about how to interpret that in roman :D

Romans wouldn't understand you! (English didn't even exist then.)
I also doubt they would understand empty space as the answer as opposed to absence of an answer.
So I think the correct answer is "nihil" :)

Another problem is that Romans almost certainly didn't use the minus sign "-", so they wouldn't have understood the question.

Bump for math! :) I had a very brief introduction to vectors and matrices in college before I dropped out, but it wasn't because of the maths, that was the one thing I wanted more of.

hmn too bad thats not defined since (as far as i know) this product is only defined for a three-dimensional space xD

hmn. Think about it again. I don't know what you did there...but its way off^^ espeicailly the ^T part. What did you do there and why?
With cases i meant Letter-casses, so A or a, Z or z
No numbers had to be rounded, since the exact result is ∈ N
