Finding the Projection of One Vector Onto another Vector

The process of projecting one vector onto another involves identifying the part of the first vector that runs in the same direction as the second one. This is typically determined through the formula proj_b(a) = [(a.b) / ||b||^2] * b. In this equation, a and b stand for vectors, "." denotes the dot product, and "||" is an indication of the magnitude.
