 A matrix $Q$ is an orthogonal matrix if its inverse is its transpose: $Q^T Q = I$. The columns of an orthogonal matrix are a set of orthogonal vectors. ​ A matrix $Q$ is an orthogonal matrix if its inverse is its transpose: $Q^T Q = I$. The columns of an orthogonal matrix are a set of orthogonal vectors. ​
  
-  ​*  +Key properties of orthogonal matrices: 
 +  ​The inner product is preserved under orthogonal transformations:​ $(Qx)^T(Qy) = x^Ty$. 
 +  * The vector 2-norm is preserved under orthogonal transformations:​ $\|Qx\| = \|x\|$. 
 +  * The matrix 2-norm is preserved under orthogonal transformations:​ $\|QA\| = \|A\|$. 
 +  * The 2-norm of an orthogonal matrix is one: $\|Q\| = 1$.
