Vector Projection: Also known as
The vector projection of $\mathbf u$ onto $\mathbf v$ is also known as:


 * the vector component
 * the vector resolution
 * the vector resolute

of $\mathbf u$ in the direction of $\mathbf v$.

The notation for $\proj_\mathbf v \mathbf u$ also varies throughout the literature.

The following forms can sometimes be seen:
 * $\mathbf u_{\parallel \mathbf v}$
 * $\mathbf u_1$
