  Orthogonal matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orthogonal matrices with determinant −1 do not include the identity, and so do not form a subgroup but only a coset; it is also (separately) connected.
The rest of the matrix is an n×n orthogonal matrix; thus O(n) is a subgroup of O(n+1) (and of all higher groups).
The polar decomposition factors a matrix into a pair, one of which is the unique closest orthogonal matrix to the given matrix, or one of the closest if the given matrix is singular.

 Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The entry of a matrix A that lies in the i -th row and the j-th column is called the i,j entry or (i,j)-th entry of A.
A 1 × n matrix (one row and n columns) is called a row vector, and an m × 1 matrix (one column and m rows) is called a column vector.
The rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the image of the linear map represented by A; this is the same as the dimension of the space generated by the rows of A, and also the same as the dimension of the space generated by the columns of A.

 Orthogonal group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the orthogonal group of degree n over a field F (written as O(n,F)) is the group of n-by-n orthogonal matrices with entries from F, with the group operation that of matrix multiplication.
In even dimensions in characteristic 2 the orthogonal group is a subgroup of the symplectic group, because the symmetric bilinear form of the quadratic form is also an alternating form.
As an algebraic group, an orthogonal group is in general neither connected nor simply-connected; the latter point brings in the spin phenomena, while the former is related to the discriminant.

The _inverse_ of a matrix M (assuming that it has one, i.e., det(M)/=0) is M^-1 -- i.e, M M^-1 = M^-1 M = I, where I is the _identity_ matrix of the same size as M. The inverse of [W X] [ Z -X] M = [Y Z] is (1/det(M)) [-Y W].
Trivial properties of orthogonal matrices: * the transpose and inverse of an orthogonal matrix are themselves orthogonal.
The _norm_ of a quaternion Q(a,b,c,d) is the square root of the _determinant_ of the corresponding matrix: det(Q(a,b,c,d)) = (a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2)^2 norm(Q(a,b,c,d)) = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2.

 PlanetMath: Cayley's parameterization of orthogonal matrices   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In particular, it is useful because unitary and orthogonal operators are bounded whereas Hermitian and skew-symmetric operators may or may not be bounded.
For instance, it is often easier to obtain the spectral decomposition of a Hermitian operator or study symmetric extensions of a symmetric operator by first performing a Cayley transform and dealing with the resulting bounded operator.

Early differential geometers studied such properties of curves and surfaces such as: computing their lengths and areas, finding tangents, constructing evolute, involute, and pedal curves, studying curvature and osculating circles, and finding envelopes and orthogonal curves to a given family of curves.
In the case of a surface, the situation is a little more complicated -- to describe the direction of the normal vector, one needs two angles instead of one and one can choose to compute their directional derivatives along any direction tangent to the surface.
Hence, to define the notion of metric field, we will consider the assignment of a symmetric, positive definite matrix of functions to every coordinate system in such a way that the matrices assigned to two coordinate systems are related according to the transformation law for inner products under a change of basis.

As noted above, in order for a matrix to be an orthogonal matrix it must be square.  So a matrix that is not square, but does have orthonormal columns will not be orthogonal.  Also, note that we did mean to say that the columns are orthonormal.
and by construction this matrix has orthonormal columns and since it is a square matrix it is an orthogonal matrix.
Again, by construction this matrix has orthonormal columns.  However, since it is not a square matrix it is NOT an orthogonal matrix.

By convention, an orthogonal matrix is usually denoted by the symbol Q.
the identity matrix is orthogonal; the matrix [0 1; 1 0] is orthogonal; the matrix [c s; -s c] is orthogonal, where c and s are the cosine and sine of some angle; any diagonal matrix is orthogonal.
Conversely, if a matrix has columns of unit L2 norm which are pairwise orthogonal...it may loosely be called an orthogonal matrix, but it isn't, unless the matrix is square.
