KEY TERMS
1. Vector – A vector is a tuple of one or more values.
2. Norm – The magnitude or length of the vector.
3. Direction of a vector – The cosine angle associated with the vector.
4. Orthogonal vector – Two vectors are said to be orthogonal if their inner product is 0.
5. Normal vector – The vector whose length or magnitude is 1.
6. Square matrix – A matrix whose number of rows equals number of columns.
7. Symmetric matrix – If the matrix is square and top right triangle is same as the lower-left of
the matrix.
8. Triangular matrix – A matrix that has zeros in upper right of the matrix with rest of the
elements zero called upper triangular matrix or a matrix with lower left with remaining
elements zero, called lower triangular matrix.
9. Diagonal matrix – A matrix with only diagonal elements.
10. Orthogonal matrix - A matrix if its dot product is zero.
11. Determinant – The determinant of a matrix is a scalar representing the matrix.
12. Matrix inverse – A matrix inverse of a matrix A is , such that , where I is an
identity matrix.
13. Eigen value and Eigen vector – Let be the eigen vector and be the eigen value of the
matrix A, then equation would be satisfied.
