Vector projection of a on b (a 1), and vector rejection of a from b (a 2). In mathematics, the scalar projection of a vector on (or onto) a vector , also known as the scalar resolute of in the direction of , is given by:
The scalar projection a on b is a scalar which has a negative sign if 90 degrees < θ ≤ 180 degrees. It coincides with the length ‖c‖ of the vector projection if the angle is smaller than 90°. More exactly: a 1 = ‖a 1 ‖ if 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°, a 1 = −‖a 1 ‖ if 90° < θ ≤ 180°.
In mathematics, the dot product or scalar product [note 1] is an algebraic operation that takes two equal-length sequences of numbers (usually coordinate vectors), and returns a single number. In Euclidean geometry , the dot product of the Cartesian coordinates of two vectors is widely used.
Calculate common scalar quantity (scalar triple product), take the dot product of the first observational unit vector with the cross product of the second and third ...
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 .
If this was just five years ago, let alone 10 or 20, the prospect of 72-year-old Bill Belichick as a college football coach would have been more about a splashy hire than the promise of great success.
where a 1, a 2, a 3 are called the vector components (or vector projections) of a on the basis vectors or, equivalently, on the corresponding Cartesian axes x, y, and z (see figure), while a 1, a 2, a 3 are the respective scalar components (or scalar projections).
