Parallel projection

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Projection (linear algebra))
The transformation P is the orthogonal projection onto the line m.

In linear algebra and functional analysis, a projection is a linear transformation P from a vector space to itself such that P2 = P. Projections map the whole vector space to a subspace and leave the points in that subspace unchanged.[1]
