Key Concepts

Basis Vectors

A basis of a vector space is a minimal set of linearly independent vectors that can represent every vector in the space through linear combinations. When a set of sample vectors serves as a basis, any vector defined within that space, such as an orthogonalized vector, must be expressible in terms of this basis.

Gram-Schmidt Process

The Gram-Schmidt process is a technique used to convert a set of linearly independent vectors into an orthogonal or orthonormal set while preserving the span of the original vectors. During this process, each new orthogonal vector is constructed by subtracting the projection of the current vector onto the space spanned by the previously constructed orthogonal vectors, ensuring that it is a linear combination only of the preceding vectors.

Orthogonalization

Orthogonalization is the process of converting a set of vectors into another set in which every pair of different vectors is orthogonal. This is crucial in many areas of linear algebra, as orthogonal vectors simplify computations and provide a convenient structure for decomposing other vectors via projections.

Linear Combinations and Vector Span

A linear combination is formed by multiplying each vector in a set by a scalar and then summing the results, and the span of a set of vectors is the collection of all possible linear combinations of those vectors. Demonstrating that a vector is a linear combination of a subset of vectors shows it belongs to the subspace spanned by that subset.
