Translation is not a linear transformation, but there is a simple and useful trick that allows us to treat it as one see Exercise 9 below. This geometric point of view is obviously useful when we want to model the motion or changes in shape of an object moving in the plane or in 3-space. For a linear transformation and a basis , defining the transformation on the basis elements uniquely defines the linear transformation.
That is because to figure out for a point , we decompose into a linear combination of basis elements, for some numbers in the underlying field, and then. Recall that every linear transformation must map the zero vector to the zero vector. Linear algebra is the study of lines and planes, vector spaces and mappings that are required for linear transforms.
It is a relatively young field of study, having initially been formalized in the s in order to find unknowns in systems of linear equations. One can calculate the determinant of such a square matrix, and such determinants are related to area or volume. It turns out that the determinant of a matrix tells us important geometrical properties of its associated linear transformation.
The image of a linear transformation or matrix is the span of the vectors of the linear transformation. Think of it as what vectors you can get from applying the linear transformation or multiplying the matrix by a vector.
It can be written as Im A. In other words, a linear transformation is determined by specifying its values on a basis. The term may be used with a different meaning in other branches of mathematics. Without further specifications, matrices represent linear maps, and allow explicit computations in linear algebra. For example, matrix multiplication represents composition of linear maps. Not all matrices are related to linear algebra.
Thus, multiplying any matrix by a vector is equivalent to performing a linear transformation on that vector. Thus, the matrix form is a very convenient way of representing linear functions.
Keep in mind that since matrix multiplication is not commutative that the order of the multiplication is important. In the next subsection, we will present the relationship between linear transformations and matrix transformations.
Before doing so, we need the following important notation. The standard coordinate vectors in R n are the n vectors. The i th entry of e i is equal to 1, and the other entries are zero. From now on, for the rest of the book, we will use the symbols e 1 , e 2 , There is an ambiguity in this notation: one has to know from context that e 1 is meant to have n entries.
That is, the vectors. The standard coordinate vectors in R 2 and R 3 are pictured below. In other words, multiplying a matrix by e i simply selects its i th column. We will see in this example below that the identity matrix is the matrix of the identity transformation. Now we can prove that every linear transformation is a matrix transformation, and we will show how to compute the matrix.
We suppose for simplicity that T is a transformation from R 3 to R 2. Let A be the matrix given in the statement of the theorem. The matrix A in the above theorem is called the standard matrix for T. The columns of A are the vectors obtained by evaluating T on the n standard coordinate vectors in R n. To summarize part of the theorem:.
Linear transformations are the same as matrix transformations, which come from matrices. The correspondence can be summarized in the following dictionary. Recall from this definition in Section 3.
