Orthogonal

Description:

Orthogonal refers to a mathematical concept in linear algebra where two vectors are perpendicular to each other, meaning they form a right angle. In particular, "orthonormal" is used to describe a set of vectors that are not only orthogonal but also have a length of 1.

Sample Sentences:

• The orthonormal basis of the vector space allowed for efficient calculations.
• In linear regression, the orthonormality assumption is often imposed to simplify the model.
• The orthonormal vectors formed the building blocks for constructing the matrix.
