Usage of the word "orthogonal" outside of mathematics
Feb 11, 2011 · I always found the use of orthogonal outside of mathematics to confuse conversation. You might imagine two orthogonal lines or topics intersecting perfecting and …
linear algebra - What is the difference between orthogonal and ...
Aug 4, 2015 · I am beginner to linear algebra. I want to know detailed explanation of what is the difference between these two and geometrically how these two are interpreted?
Difference between Perpendicular, Orthogonal and Normal
Aug 26, 2017 · Orthogonal is likely the more general term. For example I can define orthogonality for functions and then state that various sin () and cos () functions are orthogonal. An …
orthogonality - What does it mean when two functions are …
Jul 12, 2015 · I have often come across the concept of orthogonality and orthogonal functions e.g in fourier series the basis functions are cos and sine, and they are orthogonal. For vectors …
orthogonal vs orthonormal matrices - what are simplest possible ...
Sets of vectors are orthogonal or orthonormal. There is no such thing as an orthonormal matrix. An orthogonal matrix is a square matrix whose columns (or rows) form an orthonormal basis. …
Eigenvectors of real symmetric matrices are orthogonal
Now find an orthonormal basis for each eigenspace; since the eigenspaces are mutually orthogonal, these vectors together give an orthonormal subset of Rn R n. Finally, since …
What is orthogonal transformation? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Mar 17, 2017 · The equation ATA = AAT A T A = A A T says that A−1 =AT A 1 = A T so, at least, orthogonal matrices are easy to invert. What does it mean? Matrices represents linear …
Orthogonal planes in n-dimensions - Mathematics Stack Exchange
3 Generally, two linear subspaces are considered orthogonal if every pair of vectors from them are perpendicular to each other. This doesn't wok in three dimensions: two planes are either …
Eigenvalues in orthogonal matrices - Mathematics Stack Exchange
An orthogonal transformation is either a rotation or a reflection. I will focus on 3D which has lots of practical use. Let us then assume that A A is an orthonormal matrix in R3 ×R3 R 3 × R 3. We …
linear algebra - Orthogonal projection of a point onto a line ...
If the line is passing through the origin, it will be very simple to find the orthogonal projection. Suppose p p is the given point, v v is the given line (passing through the origin, so represented …
