Key Concepts

Vector Projection

The vector projection is the operation of mapping one vector onto another such that the resulting vector is parallel to the second vector. It represents the component of the first vector that lies in the direction of the second vector. This projection is computed using the formula (u · v / ||v||^2) v, where u and v are the original vectors, and the value of u · v divided by the square of the norm of v gives the scaling factor determining how much of u is in the direction of v.

Dot Product

The dot product is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers (usually coordinate vectors) and returns a single number. This product, also known as the scalar product, measures the cosine of the angle between the vectors and is used in projection calculations because it quantifies how much one vector extends in the direction of the other.

Vector Norm

The vector norm measures the length or magnitude of a vector in its space. In the context of projections, the norm of the vector onto which another vector is being projected is used to normalize the dot product, ensuring that the scaling factor used in the projection formula accurately represents the component of one vector along the direction of the other.
