  • Orthonormal bases

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

  • Positive-definite matrices

    A symmetric or Hermitian matrix is positive definite when its quadratic form is positive on nonzero vectors.

  • QR factorization

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

  • Singular values

    Singular values are nonnegative square roots of eigenvalues of the conjugate-transpose product.

  • Basis and dimension

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