Linear Algebra Computing Linear Maps Rangespace and Nullspace Representing Linear Maps with Matrices
The prior section shows that a linear map is determined by its action
on a basis. In fact, the equation
shows that, if we know the value of the map on the vectors in a basis,
then we can compute the value of the map on any vector
at all. We just need to find the
's to express with respect to the
basis.
This section gives the scheme that computes, from the representation
of a vector in the domain , the
representation of that vector's image in the codomain , using the representations of , ..., .
