More concepts to explore

  • Orthonormal bases

    An orthonormal basis consists of mutually orthogonal unit vectors spanning the space.

  • QR factorization

    A matrix factors into an orthonormal-column factor and an upper-triangular factor under suitable dimensions.

  • Basis and dimension

    A basis is a linearly independent spanning set; every vector has unique coordinates in that basis.

  • Condition numbers

    A matrix condition number describes sensitivity of linear-system solutions to perturbations.

  • Determinants

    The determinant of a square matrix tracks signed volume scaling and is nonzero exactly when the matrix is invertible.
