Orthogonal Projection
How can it be shown, either mathematically -or- geometrically, that the orthogonal projection of vector x onto vector us is given by x' * u (x transpose multiplied by u)?

I am not sure what you want to do exactly, but the Gram Schmidt process might also shed some more light. It is numerically unstable and a modified version is used.
