In linear algebra, linear transformations can be represented by matrices. If T is a linear transformation mapping Rn to Rm and is a column vector with n entries, then

for some m×n matrix A, called the transformation matrix of T. There is an alternative expression of transformation matrices involving row vectors that is preferred by some authors.

Famous quotes containing the word matrix:

    As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day.
    Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
