Orthogonal Vectors and Subspaces
In this lecture, viewers learn about what it means for vectors and subspaces to be orthogonal. The instructor begins by explaining what it means for vectors to be orthogonal, and then extends the definition to subspaces. He shows that the row space is orthogonal to the null space, and explains how this fact is useful in cutting the whole space up into two perpendicular subspaces. The lecture is informative and engaging, and provides a clear understanding of orthogonal vectors and subspaces.

Staff Review
This video is a very complete and in-depth discussion of orthogonality and what it means for vectors and subspaces to be orthogonal. A very understandable and great explanation of orthogonal spaces.
