  1. 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 …

  2. 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 …

  3. 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 …

  4. 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?

  5. 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 …

  6. 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. …

  7. 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 …

  8. 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 …

  9. Are all eigenvectors, of any matrix, always orthogonal?

    May 8, 2012 · In general, for any matrix, the eigenvectors are NOT always orthogonal. But for a special type of matrix, symmetric matrix, the eigenvalues are always real and eigenvectors …

  10. Why is orthogonal basis important? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The important thing about orthogonal vectors is that a set of orthogonal vectors of cardinality (number of elements of a set) equal to dimension of space is guaranteed to span the space …
