A projection matrix [math]\displaystyle{ P }[/math] is a [math]\displaystyle{ n \times n }[/math] square matrix that gives a vector space projection from the n-dimensional space [math]\displaystyle{ \R^n }[/math] to a subspace [math]\displaystyle{ W }[/math].
- Context:
- It can also be stated as: A square matrix [math]\displaystyle{ P }[/math] is a projection matrix if and only if [math]\displaystyle{ P^2=P }[/math]
- Example(s):
- An example of a nonsymmetric projection matrix is [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix} }[/math], which projects onto the line [math]\displaystyle{ y=x }[/math].
- See: Linear Transformation.

- In linear algebra and functional analysis, a projection is a linear transformation [math]\displaystyle{ P }[/math] from a vector space to itself such that P2 = P. It leaves its image unchanged. Though abstract, this definition of "projection" formalizes and generalizes the idea of graphical projection. One can also consider the effect of a projection on a geometrical object by examining the effect of the projection on points in the object.
