Any linear transformation

satisfying the Orthogonality Condition
where Einstein Summation has been used and
is the Kronecker Delta, is called an orthogonaltransformation.Orthogonal transformations correspond to rigid Rotations (or Rotoinversions), andmay be represented using Orthogonal Matrices. If 
is an orthogonaltransformation, then
