orthogonal vectors
Two vectors, and , are orthogonal
if and only if their inner product is 0. In two dimensions
, orthogonal vectors
are perpendicular
(or in dimensions in the plane defined by the two vectors.)
A set of vectors is orthogonal when, taken pairwise, any two vectors in the set are orthogonal.
