agree  Natasa Stankovic: BTW, priznajem da nisam sigurna šta je sporno, ali koliko ja laički vidim i „ort“ se sa istim značenjem kao u engleskom koristi i u srpskom.

jedinični vektori


Explanation:
Ort je jedinični vektor, tj. termin ort<B> se koristi i u našem jeziku. Ova rečenica bolje zvuči kada se kaže ...jedinični vektori osa... a ne ...ortovi osa...

Example sentence(s):
  • Njegov ort, tj. jedinični vektor, dobićemo tako što ga podelimo njegovim intenzitetom.

(ortogonalni) jedinični vektori u smjeru osi x, y, z


Explanation:
"Jedinični vektori" alone isn't enough - they must also be orthogonal. In this case, that's ensured by having them point along the orthogonal x, y, z axes.

On second thoughts a, neater (but equivalent) way of putting this is ortonormirana baza- this contains both the idea of "jedinicni vektori" (the normal bit) and the orthogonality.

"orts" of course in English is just shorthand for "orthonormal basis"

  -> Nope, "orts" here are actually versors https://books.google.ie/books?id=rzjD1EmEA5AC&pg=PA48// t.j. u pravcima koordinatnih osa
