2.3 <strong>Linear</strong> Transformations<br />

Definition 2.3.1 A function, A : F n → F m is called a linear transformation if for all<br />

u, v ∈ F n and a, b scalars, (2.19) holds.<br />

From (2.19), matrix multiplication defines a linear transformation as just defined. It<br />

turns out this is the only type of linear transformation available. Thus if A is a linear<br />

transformation from F n to F m , there is always a matrix which produces A. Before showing<br />

this, here is a simple definition.
