Linear Algebra/Change of Basis

Linear Algebra Change of Basis Inverses Changing Representations of Vectors Representations, whether of vectors or of maps, vary with the bases. For instance, with respect to the two bases and for , the vector has two different representations. Similarly, with respect to and , the identity map has two different representations. With our point of view that the objects of our studies are vectors and maps, in fixing bases we are adopting a scheme of tags or names for these objects, that are convienent for computation. We will now see how to translate among these names— we will see exactly how representations vary as the bases vary. Linear Algebra Change of Basis Inverses Changing Representations of Vectors
