Key Concepts

Orthogonal Projection

Orthogonal projection is the process of mapping a vector onto a subspace in such a way that the difference between the vector and its projected image is orthogonal to that subspace. This guarantees that the distance between the original vector and the subspace is minimized, which is essential in best approximation and least squares problems.

Subspace and Span

The span of a set of vectors is the collection of all possible linear combinations of those vectors, forming a subspace within the larger vector space. Understanding spans is fundamental when determining which vectors can be used to approximate another vector by lying in the same subspace.

Least Squares Minimization

Least squares minimization is a method used to find the best approximation to an over-determined system by minimizing the sum of the squares of the differences (errors) between the observed values and the values provided by the model. In the context of vector spaces, it is applied to find the vector in a subspace that is closest to a given vector.

Linear Combinations and Basis

A basis of a subspace is a set of linearly independent vectors that can generate the entire subspace through linear combinations. Expressing the approximating vector as a linear combination of basis vectors is a key step in solving projection problems, allowing one to determine the coefficients that minimize the error.
