Document Summary

Mathematicians do not study objects, but the relations between objects; to them it is a matter of indi erence if these objects are replaced by others, provided that the relations do not change. Matter does not engage their attention, they are interested in form alone. - henri poincar e. Two non-zero vectors u and v in rn are said to be orthogonal (or perpendicular ) if u v = 0. Note: recall that u v = kukkvk cos( ) where is the geometric angle between the two vectors u and v. The zero vector is orthogonal to every vector in rn. In r3, the vectors u = (1, 2, 3) and v = (3, 0, 1) are orthogonal, since u v = 1(3)+2(0)+3( 1) = Orthogonal projections orthogonal projection is a way to decompose a vector into the sum of two orthog- onal vectors.
