Orthogonality
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Orthogonality
In mathematics, orthogonality is the generalization of the geometric notion of perpendicularity. Although many authors use the two terms perpendicular and orthogonal interchangeably, the term perpendicular is more specifically used for lines and planes that intersect to form a right angle, whereas orthogonal is used in generalizations, such as orthogonal vectors or orthogonal curves.
Orthogonality is also used with various meanings that are often weakly related or not related at all with the mathematical meanings.
