Good (1986) objects to the name ``singular value decomposition,'' preferring ``singular decomposition.'' Although the decomposition itself was discovered independently by Beltrami (1873) and Jordan (1874), and has since been frequently rediscovered, the name singular value comes from the literature on integral equations.
In 1907 Erhard Schmidt introduced the ``eigenvalues''---the reciprocals of our singular values--- of an integral equation with a nonsymmetric kernal.
It is interesting to note that Schmidt proved the so-called Eckart-Young approximation theorem (1936) in its full generality for integral operators, and his name should be associated with the theorem.

In version 3 the orthogonalization procedures orthonorm in pseuvec.m, eusphere.nb, and pseuklid.nb have been corrected and completed; the module esorthonorm realizing Erhard Schmidt's orthogonalization procedure for positive semidefinite scalar products has been added, which is faster than J. Novak's procedure contained in StandardPackages/LinearAgebra/Orthogonalization.m.
Changes Nov 2000: A version of Erhard Schmidt's orthogonalization: esorthonorm, is introduced in section 4.1.
The procedure normalized is renamed in dotnorme, normed in normalize, and the new concept normed is now an option for the orthogonalization esorthonorm.
