  Orthonormality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linear algebra, two vectors v and w in an inner product space are said to be orthonormal if they are orthogonal and of unit length (that is, their inner product is zero and the norm of each of them is 1).
A set of vectors which are pairwise orthonormal is called an orthonormal set.
A basis which forms an orthonormal set is called an orthonormal basis.

 Hilbert space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This problem can be studied abstractly in Hilbert spaces: every Hilbert space has an orthonormal basis, and every element of the Hilbert space can be written in a unique way as a sum of multiples of these base elements.
Note that in the infinite-dimensional case, an orthonormal basis will not be a basis in the sense of linear algebra; to distinguish the two, the latter basis is also called a Hamel basis.
The set L(H) of all continuous linear operators on H, together with the addition and composition operations, the norm and the adjoint operation, forms a C

As mentioned in the previous section, perhaps the most important set of orthonormal functions is the set of sines and cosines (2.8).
It is a theorem that each of the sets of trigonometric functions (2.6)-(2.9) is complete and orthonormal, but the techniques for proving such a theorem are beyond the scope of this course.
Since each of the functions in the set is periodic with period L, any linear combination of them is also periodic with the same period.

So, they do form an orthogonal set.  To show that they don’t form an orthonormal set we just need to show that at least one of them does not have a norm of 1.  For the practice we’ll compute all the norms.
So, one of them has a norm of 1, but the other two don’t and so they are not an orthonormal set of vectors.

 This may seem odd given that we call the matrix “orthogonal” when “orthonormal” would probably be a better name for the matrix, but traditionally this kind of matrix has been called orthogonal and so we’ll keep up with tradition.

Again, by construction this matrix has orthonormal columns.  However, since it is not a square matrix it is NOT an orthogonal matrix.

 Orthogonality and Least Squares   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The idea is, of course, that orthogonal bases are much easier to work with and lend themselves nicely to performing various computations such as finding vector coordinates with respect to this basis and projecting vectors on various subspaces of a vector space.
Closely tied to this idea is the concept of orthogonal matrices: square matrices whose columns form an orthonormal set.
They are square matrices whose columns form an orthonormal set.
