  2. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    Whenever they don't coincide, the inner product is used instead of the dot product in the formal definitions of projection and rejection. For a three-dimensional inner product space, the notions of projection of a vector onto another and rejection of a vector from another can be generalized to the notions of projection of a vector onto a plane ...

  3. Projection (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_(linear_algebra)

    A square matrix is called a projection matrix if it is equal to its square, i.e. if =. [2]: p. 38 A square matrix is called an orthogonal projection matrix if = = for a real matrix, and respectively = = for a complex matrix, where denotes the transpose of and denotes the adjoint or Hermitian transpose of .

  4. Distance from a point to a plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    In either the coordinate or vector formulations, one may verify that the given point lies on the given plane by plugging the point into the equation of the plane. To see that it is the closest point to the origin on the plane, observe that p {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} } is a scalar multiple of the vector v {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} } defining ...

  5. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    If the normal of the viewing plane (the camera direction) is parallel to one of the primary axes (which is the x, y, or z axis), the mathematical transformation is as follows; To project the 3D point , , onto the 2D point , using an orthographic projection parallel to the y axis (where positive y represents forward direction - profile view ...

  6. Bresenham's line algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm

    A line splits a plane into halves and the half-plane that has a negative (,) can be called the negative half-plane, and the other half can be called the positive half-plane. This observation is very important in the remainder of the derivation.

  7. Projection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_(mathematics)

    The commutativity of this diagram is the universality of the projection π, for any map f and set X.. Generally, a mapping where the domain and codomain are the same set (or mathematical structure) is a projection if the mapping is idempotent, which means that a projection is equal to its composition with itself.

  8. Scalar projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_projection

    where the operator denotes a dot product, ^ is the unit vector in the direction of , ‖ ‖ is the length of , and is the angle between and . [ 1 ] The term scalar component refers sometimes to scalar projection, as, in Cartesian coordinates , the components of a vector are the scalar projections in the directions of the coordinate axes .

  9. Vector fields in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in...

    Note: This page uses common physics notation for spherical coordinates, in which is the angle between the z axis and the radius vector connecting the origin to the point in question, while is the angle between the projection of the radius vector onto the x-y plane and the x axis. Several other definitions are in use, and so care must be taken ...
