This application allows users to manipulate two vectors \(v_1\) and \(v_2\). Also shown are the orthogonal projection of \(v_2\) onto v1 and the new Gram-Schmidt vectoirs \(u_1=v_1\) and \(u_2\). Since two vectors are used in two dimensions, the result is easily anticipated.

Not extremely extensive but effective for what it does: allows user to choose two vectors in \(\mathbf{R}^2\) and displays corresponding GS vectors. It would be nice if user could enter and/or see values in the two vectors.
