Linear Transformations and Matrix Operations

This video tutorial introduces matrix transformations, explaining how functions map from Rn to Rm using matrices. It covers key vocabulary such as domain, codomain, image, pre-image, and range. The tutorial provides examples of transformations from R3 to R2 and R2 to R3, demonstrating the process graphically. It concludes with a discussion on linear transformations, highlighting their properties and proving them using matrix operations.

What is a matrix transformation?

• A function that maps numbers to matrices
