Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization in Linear Algebra

The Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization process provides a mechanism within linear algebra to transform any given basis for a subspace into an orthogonal (or orthonormal) basis without altering the span of that subspace. This transformation relies on subtracting from each new vector its orthogonal projection onto the space generated by all preceding vectors in the sequence, ensuring mutual orthogonality via zero dot products while preserving the original linear relationships defined by the parent discipline's principles of vector spaces and bases.
