Basis Changes

Suppose I have a basis S, .Then any arbitrary vector can be written as

where are the components of . More briefly,

Suppose I have another basis S', .Then the same vector can also be written as

or

The relationship between the two sets of components is

where P is a matrix that is called the transformation matrix from S to S'.

Matrix P takes the form:

10/02/00 0:45:31 10/04/00 0:11:37
