9.9 The Matrix of a L<strong>in</strong>ear Transformation<br />

Outcomes<br />

A. F<strong>in</strong>d the matrix of a l<strong>in</strong>ear transformation with respect to general bases <strong>in</strong> vector spaces.<br />

You may recall from R n that the matrix of a l<strong>in</strong>ear transformation depends on the bases chosen. This<br />

concept is explored <strong>in</strong> this section, where the l<strong>in</strong>ear transformation now maps from one arbitrary vector<br />

space to another.<br />

Let T : V ↦→ W be an isomorphism where V and W are vector spaces. Recall from Lemma 9.74 that T<br />

maps a basis <strong>in</strong> V to a basis <strong>in</strong> W. When discuss<strong>in</strong>g this Lemma, we were not specific on what this basis<br />

looked like. In this section we will make such a dist<strong>in</strong>ction.<br />

Consider now an important def<strong>in</strong>ition.
