Coordinate Vector - Basis Transformation Matrix

Basis Transformation Matrix

Let B and C be two different bases of a vector space V, and let us mark with the matrix which has columns consisting of the C representation of basis vectors b1, b2, ..., bn:

_{C}^{B} = \begin{bmatrix} \ _C & \cdots & _C \ \end{bmatrix}

This matrix is referred to as the basis transformation matrix from B to C, and can be used for transforming any vector v from a B representation to a C representation, according to the following theorem:

If E is the standard basis, the transformation from B to E can be represented with the following simplified notation:

Famous quotes containing the words basis and/or matrix:

    “Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others’ reasons for action, or the basis of others’ emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)

    “In all cultures, the family imprints its members with selfhood. Human experience of identity has two elements; a sense of belonging and a sense of being separate. The laboratory in which these ingredients are mixed and dispensed is the family, the matrix of identity.”
    —Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
