Well, yeah, I know what orthogonal MEANS, but what does it mean? I know that it means your functions are... orthogonal to each other, the whole 90 degree thing, and that if you do <psi1/psi2> you get 0 if they're orthonormal. I know all the mathy stuff, and I have the definition memorized and I can do the problems with no issues. But I still don't understand what orthogonal MEANS. How can an oscillating function be orthogonal to another oscillating function? What does it mean if you multiply two functions and their integral goes to zero?
No, I love the Santa Cruz rainy season. Although I think fall is starting to grow on me. I actually thought to myself the other day, "Oooh, pretty yellow leaves," which is a thought I don't recall ever having had before. But I was referring to the beginning of the rainy season here in SC.
