Key Concepts

Linear Independence

Linear independence is a fundamental property of a set of vectors where no vector in the set can be expressed as a linear combination of the others. It is a necessary condition for applying the Gram-Schmidt process, as the process requires a basis, which by definition consists of linearly independent vectors.

Projection of Vectors

Projection is the operation of mapping a vector onto another vector or subspace. In the context of the Gram-Schmidt process, the projection of a vector onto an already determined orthonormal vector is subtracted from the original, ensuring that the remainder is orthogonal to the subspace spanned by the previous vectors.

Gram-Schmidt Process

The Gram-Schmidt process is an algorithm for converting a set of linearly independent vectors into an orthonormal set that spans the same subspace. By iteratively subtracting the projection of a vector onto the already computed orthogonal vectors, the process ensures that each new vector is orthogonal to the previous ones, and by normalizing the result, each vector also has unit length.

Orthonormal Basis

An orthonormal basis in a vector space is a set of vectors that are all orthogonal to each other and each of unit length. This concept simplifies many calculations in linear algebra, such as computing projections and representing vectors uniquely in the space, because the inner products between different basis vectors are zero and with themselves are one.
