  • Here's what I came up with for the difference between perpendicular, normal, and orthogonal. But at the end of the day, no one will get mad at you if you use one term over the other. The only exception might be "orthogonal" when you have to check the property by the dot production (aka inner product).

    My take:
    Perpendicular = Two straight intersecting objects.
    Normal = Vector and Surface. Surface does not need to be flat, it just has to be smooth. Works on any number of dimensions for the surface, but the vector is a line.
    Orthogonal = independent. Orthogonal vectors don't correlate. No amount of walking east will take me north. No amount of changing the value of a function at one point will change the value anywhere else. etc.

    I tell my Precalculus students two lines can be perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle but in 3D space, the two lines may not intersect and we wouldn’t call them perpendicular in that case. But if you represent the lines as vectors then the vectors will be orthogonal.

      yep, I think the normal vector is only 'normal' in the sense that it is the bivector of size 1, which can be represented as an orthogonal vector of length one specifically in 3D, and by analogy we think of it the same when viewing 2D as a 3D slice, but it breaks down majorly in more dimensions.

    It's instructive for "orthogonal" to learn how the word is used in other contexts. In those other contexts, it tends to mean things that are completely unrelated to each other. For example, you could say that one political spectrum is orthogonal to another political spectrum (say, free market vs. protectionist, state religion vs. freedom of religion, wealth redistribution vs. entrenched aristocracy, authoritarian vs. libertarian - I'm not intending to say any of these are actually orthogonal, but just used as an example of things that might be argued to be orthogonal), in that where you stand on one spectrum has no bearing on where you stand on the other. Thus, you can think of them like linearly independent vectors that can form a basis of the space of political positions defined by those spectra. I used "orthogonal" this way for something related to work with my boss, and I had to explain what it meant, so it's not like every English speaker is familiar with its use in this way, but it does get used by academics.

    I like to think of them as perpendicular being of things with the same dimensionality, i.e. two lines or two planes are perpendicular.
    I think of normal as applying to things of different dimensions, like a line intersecting a plane. The line is normal if it is perpendicular to all lines in the plane that pass through that point.
    Orthogonality is about independence in a more abstract sense, like how no amount of walking east will move you north. The area of a parallelogram is the product of a side with the orthogonal thickness. A change in one of the measurements has no change in the other measurement.

    Normal comes from Latin "norma" which is a tool with a right angle, a carpenter's square.
    Perpendicular comes from Latin perpendiculum "plumb line" and Late Latin perpendicularis "vertical, as a plumb line". Basically, it wants to say that the gravitational force is normal to the earth surface.
    Orthogonal comes from grrek "orthos" (right/correct) and "gonia" (angle/corner).
    It looks like math evolved from construction and physics (norma, perpendiculum) and became more abstract during the greek era turning into geometry and algebra.
    For me it looks like the greek had some really smart people at this time leading the development of math. Their thinking and language looks a bit more abstract to me.

    In some contexts, perpendicular means vertical (yet another word).

    All of these words roughy mean 'at right angles' which I believe is the literal meaning of the word orthogonal in Greek.

    1. Another distinction is that the zero vector will be orthogonal to any other vector. This is important, for example, when you want the orthogonal complement of a set of vectors to be a subspace.
    2. You said that the inner product is the same as the dot product for vectors in R^n. This is not quite true since there are non-standard inner products possible.
    3. I think the term "normal" in mathematics is the champion for having the most different meanings.
    There are normal distributions, normal subspaces, normalizing vectors, ...
    Of course it is possible to quibble about what constitutes a "different"meaning...for example, adding integers could be seen as different from adding fractions.

    I think the normal vector is only 'normal' in the sense that it is the bivector (derived from the tangent plane) of size 1 (because it represents orientation without magnitude), which can be represented as an orthogonal vector of length 1 specifically in 3D, and by analogy we think of it the same when viewing 2D as a 3D slice, but it breaks down majorly in more dimensions.
    Specifically what's 'normal' about it, is that it's size 1 (normalisation) not the perpendicular aspect (orthoganalisation), and we have it hammered into us in linear algebra that orthonormalisation comprises both normalisation and orthoganisation which are both independent things!

    • @skilz8098

      Personally, I have no issue with all three of them being interchangeable. Why? They all represent a translation of 90 degrees or PI/2 radians either it being a translation or a rotation. Consider the following if we take the value 1 which we typically perceive it as being a scalar and represent it by the vector And now let's add its additive inverse to it twice. + + which gives us the vector . This is the same exact thing as the basic arithmetic expression 1 + (-2) = -1 or simply 1 - 2 = -1. This two-step horizontal translation is the same thing as rotating the point about the fixed-point origin by 180 degrees in standard form (CCW).
      We can introduce a new operator where I'll use .rot( ) to represent rotate by which can be in either degrees or radians.
      We can then see that 1 - 2 is equivalent to 1.rot(180) or 1.rot(PI). Now, what happens to the value of 1 when we rotate it by 90 degrees or PI/2 radians?
      We can easily visualize the expressions: 1.rot(90) and 1.rot(PI/2), yet there is no value along the "real number or horizontal x-axis" that can represent this value. If we go back to the vector notation of this scalar value We can then easily see that:
      1.rot(90) and 1.rot(PI/2) gives the value or unit vector
      What is so special about this?
      By understanding the properties of the trig functions specifically the sine and cosine functions we know that they have the same range, domain, period, and wave form or shape, that they are continuous for all points along their curves, that their limits exist for all points. We know that they are periodic sinusoidal, rotational, circular, transcendental wave functions. They are for most tense and purposes the same function with slight differences. There are three main differences between them. The sine is an odd function, the cosine is an even function. They are literally 90-degree horizontal translations of each other. These first two are due to the third difference in their properties and that is their initial or starting positions. The sine starts at and the cosine starts at .
      This here easily shows us that and are perpendicular, orthogonal, normal to each other. Since is a unit vector that is all three to the origin then it also implies that is also that too through induction since is also a unit vector.
      Now when we take any numerical value (real) and rotate it by 180 degrees which is the same as performing the two-step linear translation of -2, we are changing its sign or its direction. If it's positive, it'll become its negative and if it's negative it will become its positive provided that the point of rotation remains fixed at the origin.
      If we rotate by 360 degrees, then the value will remain the same. This goes to show that for all values, they are circular. 1, 2, 3, 1/2, sqrt(1), e, pi, etc. They are all circular.
      Now when we rotate a value from the horizontal axis about the origin by 90 degrees, its displacement or translation becomes perpendicular or vertical to it. We can see this when we start to look at what are typically called imaginary numbers, but here I like to refer to them or call them the vertical numbers as they are perpendicular to the real or horizontal numbers. I tend to think of the Reals as being the Horizontal numbers and the Imaginaries as being the Vertical Numbers and that the composition of them still being the Complex Numbers. Why? When viewing it this way, it is easy to see that the Complex number a + bi is also the same as the vector from the origin to the point (a, bi) which is also the same as the point (cos(t) , i sin(t) ) in the complex plane. The cos part is the Horizontal (Real) or X proportion, and the i sin part is the Vertical (Imaginary) or Y proportion.
      Not even from linear algebra itself but just from basic algebra and the formula to find a slope given two points along a line defined as rise/run as being the gradient that can be calculated by m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = deltaY / deltaX is the same as finding sin(t)/cos(t) where t (theta) is the angle between the line y = mx+b where b = 0, and the +x-axis. This is the same as saying that m = deltaY/deltaX = sin(t)/cos(t) = tan(t). We can take the slope form of the line y = mx+b and substitute m with tan(t). Yes, there is a direct relationship between linearity and rotation as there is a direction relationship between linearity and trigonometric properties. This can be seen due to the fact that the Pythagorean Theorem: A^2 + B^2 = C^2, and the equation of a circle (X-h)^2 + (Y-k)^2 = r^2 where (X,Y) is a point on the circle, (h,k) is its center point and r is its radius are basically the same thing. The only major difference between them is that the Pythagorean Theorem is expressed in terms of Right Triangles and the Later is in terms of Circles.
      Everything within mathematics can be reduced down and expressed in terms of addition, linear transformation, specifically translation. I've already demonstrated how a two-step horizontal translation in the opposite direction is equivalent to rotation and if we rotate it by only 90 degrees, we get its orthogonal counterpart which is the same as multiplying it by i. 3 * i = 3i which is the same as 3.rot(90) or 3.rot(PI/2). If we take the value 1 and rotate it by 45 degrees. 1.rot(45) or 1.rot(PI/4) we end up with the vector < sqrt(2)/2 , sqrt(2)/2)> as this point lies on the unit circle and if we are in the "real plane XY" it's simply (cos(t), sin(t)) and if we are in the Complex plane, it's simply (cos(t), i sin(t) ).
      I do not see any difference between the three when it comes to being normal, orthogonal or perpendicular. However, within the context of normals while in the event of performing calculations on them, it is preferred to normalize your vectors so that their orthonormal components provide a unit vector. The reason for this typically within 3D Graphics and other fields as well such as within physics is that when it comes to rotations sometimes, we only care about its direction, so having a unit vector in that direction simplifies or reduces our expressions and computations. So, I can partially agree with that sentiment when considering normals; even within physics when calculating force vectors and having to find the normals, it's a similar thing but in a slightly different situation. Yet for most tense and purposes they all relate to being Right Angles or rotations by 90 degrees, or translations by PI/2 radians. This is why the sine and cosine functions as well as the other trig functions all have a Pythagorean Identity. This is also why the slope or gradient of a line, and the tangent functions are related and why we are even able to define derivatives and integrals based on the tangent (slope or gradient). This doesn't even include things such as the distance and midpoint formulas... Just some food for thought. And yet all of this can be derived from y = x.

    Great lead into the gyroscopic effect. Angular momentum is not causal or even real. It is a math analogy. The cause of the effect is found in the "perpendicular" tilt velocity created by tilting a spin plane. Opposite seesaw ends have opposite velocities, and spinning mass passing through these tilting ends of the plane must swap ends twice per rotation creating massive amounts of "perpendicular" acceleration focused at the tilting fulcrum axis running diametrically through the spin plane. All of this acceleration production is totally resolved in each instant, and it is perfectly "perpendicular" to spin velocity and the spin plane. Tilting is directional and is directed toward a tilting input initially, then it steers itself to align the fulcrum axis with the force causing the initial tilt input, and this is precession. The REASON this is a perpendicular effect is that the tilting fulcrum axis in the plane follows tilt direction like an axle being perpendicular to the direction of a car. Look at my video explanation of it called: Proof! Angular Momentum Is Not Causal.

    2/ Normal defined through the tangent line or the tangent plane. It would involve the derivative and differential concepts. A normal line (or plane) of a curve (or a surface) is a line (or plane) perpendicular to the tangent line of that curve (or that surface).
    3/ Orthogonal defined by the inner product. If the inner product of 2 objects is 0, we say they are orthogonal.

    I think of "normal" as a vector quantity with an orientation, whereas a "perpendicular" is a line without orientation.
    Orthogonal is a generalization of perpendicular, but I usually think of it as "independent." Independence in statistics, having zero covariance, is the same as having a zero inner product.
    Finally, for your integral, I would simplify (cos x)(cos 2x) = 1/2 (cos x + cos 3x), then a u-substitution becomes unnecessary.

    No matter which convention or notation one is using, either it being Perpendicular, Normal, or Orthogonal, there is one common factor between all of them regardless of how they are being represented or used in any varying context and that is they are all symbolically related to being 90 degrees or PI/2 radians of separation. Another way to look at this from any of the three representations above in how they are typically used, is to also know that in all of those situations, the perpendicularity, the normalness, the orthogonality, etc where the dot product = 0, is the same thing as multiplying them by i or the sqrt(-1). The sqrt(-1) is a 90 degree rotation. This becomes more apparent when you start to work in various fields such as within physics typically within the field of electricity, magnetism, circuitry, etc... also within fields such as 3D Graphics Rendering with various transformations, translations, rotations, etc... where it's more efficient to use a 4D like object known as a quaternion to perform matrix to matrix, matrix to vector, matrix to quaternion, quaternion to vector calculations where quaternions themselves are a special case of the Hamiltonians. So, in truth, we can easily interchange the use of the words, Perpendicular, Normal, and Orthogonal to practically mean nearly the same thing. Sure, they are used to represent right angles in different contexts, but that's the one thing they all have in common, a factor of i.

      In the example used in this video of _ cos(x) cos(2x) _ These two functions are not in phase, and so the angle between them is never a constant 90°
      These two cosine functions are different _frequencies_ and distinctly different vectors in a frequency space.
      It's like you if have a 7Hz and a 5Hz tone... the frequencies are not a combination or multiple of each other. (maybe I should use 50Hz and 60Hz or a pair of music pitches that sound bad together as an example)

    In the Germany we use the words slightly different; in case i didn't mess up the translations, we say:
    Perpendicularity is a concept of (classic) geometry; one (straight) line a is perpendicular to another (straight) line b, if and only if their intersections have 90° angles.
    Orthogonality is a generalization of perpendicularity; in a vector space with a bilinear form , two vectors a and b are orthogonal, if and only if = 0.
    The normal (/normal line) g (german: 'Normale' (/'normale Gerade')) of a hypersurface H (= straight/curved line, plane/surface, or higher dimensional generalization) is a straight line, whose direction vector n (we call normal vector) is orthogonal to the every tangent vector of H in the (specific) intersection point A (though g might intersect multiple times with H at different points under different angles).
    We shorten that description by saying g and H are orthogonal in A (instead of mentioning the involved vectors) and also left out the 'in A' part in case it's obvious which point we mean, lke for example in case there is only one intersection point.

    1) Perpendiculaire= se """"croisent""" orthogonalement (ça nous semble évident pour des droites en 2D ou une droite et un plan/deux plans en 3D.
    3) Orthogonal = définition de "l'angle droit" dépendante du nombre de dimensions dans lequel on travail, cette angle droit n'oblige pas forcément à ce que les objets se croisent pour de vrai - imaginer un angle droit à distance pour deux droites en deux dimensions.
    2) Normal = orthogonal à la direction d'un objet, on peut imaginer un point de vue global ("normal à un plan" en terminale) ou un point de vue local comme le présente bbrp avec la normale à une courbe en 2d en un point mais bien entendu on peut étendre ces définition à des objets multidimensionnels ou inhabituels, c'est génial de parler de fonctions orthogonales !
    Et surtout pour les post-bac, la définition d'orthogonal dépend de la définition du produit scalaire utilisé.

    if you knew what 'perpend' meant, you would argue this very differently.
    modern mathematics terminology was mostly developed by people who were illiterate in Greek but didn't realize it, so they artificially changed what older terminology meant.
    a casual of reading of Euclid reveals this to be abundantly accurate. where for instance Euclid specifically makes allowances for lines and surfaces to be curved, but working with such things is today called non-Euclidean, thanks to individuals like Gauss and Bolyai.

      it's notable that in Euclid's Elements 'parallel' is never defined, but all of the foundational work on 'non-Euclidean' geometry is very confident that the meaning of 'parallel' which Euclid intended is a plainly established fact known to all.
      in truth, 'parallel' never appears in the text outside of the phrase 'parallel straight lines'. what this means is that 'parallel' is a distinct property from straightness and not necessarily unique to lines. similarly, 'perpendicular' is also only used by Euclid with respect to straight lines. so the inference that these terms only apply to them is actually fallacious, and ignores the casual implications that Euclid was making with basic Greek vocabulary which he felt would be intuitive and obvious to his readers.
      putting this all together, it should occur to you that the reason 'non-Euclidean' geometry was proposed 2 thousand years after Euclid is probably because earlier generations simply had a more correct understanding of what Euclid was intending to say. a clear example of this is the modern claim that Euclid's Elements introduces flatness and parallelism in his 5th postulate, despite the fact that he clearly outlines all of these principles in the preceding oroi. this is clear evidence that the modern interpretation of Euclid is rooted in simple illiteracy.

    • @sumdumbmick
      @sumdumbmick Месяц назад +1

      there are a number of conventional meanings, which are distinct both from each other and from the use implied
      by Euclid. that is, ‘parallel lines’ are said to have one of the following properties:
      - constant separation
      - never intersecting
      - same angles where crossed by some specific third line
      - same angles where crossed by any third line
      but note that none of these correspond to Euclid’s use.
      - parallel objects are congruent objects positioned the same way relative to each other at all locations
      - oros 23 specifically mentions parallel straight lines in the established context of a planed working surface
      - straight lines are by definition mutually congruent
      - parallel straight lines drawn upon a planed working surface never intersect as a consequence of the definition of
      paralellism, not as an aspect of it. for example, parallel circles or squares can intersect
      - lines in general are not congruent, as their curvature can differ in scale, degree and direction
      - Euclid specifically says that the periphery of a circle is a line, which illustrates that he did not think of lines in
      general as being straight, or potentially parallel to anything. later writers are far less careful
      - because curved surfaces are necessarily objects embedded within a larger uncurved space, it is impossible to
      generalize parallelism over them
      - straight lines are not the only objects which can be parallel, for instance any two circles of the same diameter drawn upon
      a planed working surface are parallel
      -- such parallel circles may intersect, but never at corresponding points this is different from how great circles intersect on the surface of a sphere, as those intersections
      -- specifically occur only at corresponding points
      -- given that great circles are the only object which can be drawn on a spherical surface which can reasonably be said to be straight, parallel straight lines are impossible on a spherical surface since great circles cannot be translated over a spherical surface
      -- similarly, the sorts of objects which might qualify as straight lines on a hyperbolic surface cannot be parallel, because their separation cannot be constant. and lines of constant separation on a hyperbolic surface cannot be straight. thus parallel straight lines are impossible on a hyperbolic surface because simple translation is not possible over a hyperbolic surface
      what part of the modern interpretation exactly should I interpret as 'mathematical rigor'? without being explicitly coached to believe something very specific that doesn't follow from the sources, it's impossible to arrive at a conclusion which agrees with modern interpretations. this is a telltale sign of cult dogma.

    • @sumdumbmick
      @sumdumbmick Месяц назад

      your account of 'orthogonal vectors' dismisses the fact that the vectors you're comparing are by definition straight lines which share a boundary at the origin.
      since there are two of them, we can find a plane which both of these lines lie in, and then if they are perpendicular within that plane, they are orthogonal. so your orthogonality test is testing for perpendicularity as you defined it anyway, you simply don't understand wtf you're talking about, so the fact that the method of computing orthogonality looks different to you has confused you into believing that it is somehow a fundamentally different beast altogether.
      illiterate cult dogma.

    In intro physics, students do many problems where they are required to draw a normal to the surface of a ramp.

    The existence of almost synonyms is bothering bprp.
    ...
    I can't see why. This makes no sense. Oh my Euler ... I just heard him saying Orthogonal is the most mathematical term compared to Perpendicular and Normal??? Wtf² ...

    Can you solve this integration bug in your channel \int_{1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{\ln(x)}{x}
    ight)^{2011} \, dx Thanks

      This does not converge, try checking using integration by substitution.

    Orthogonal = right angle from Greek roots. If a right angle isn't a straight line being perpendicular to another straight line in 2D, what is it?! It's useless to make up meaningless terms. Too "smart aleck-y" for their own good. There's no such thing as a "normal" (Is that 正常, 普通 or 一般 in Chinese, sir?) math problem either. 😂😅😊😢😮
