Change of basis: Essence of Linear Algebra - Part 13 of 15

The video tutorial explains the concept of coordinate systems, focusing on standard and alternative basis vectors. It discusses how different basis vectors can change the representation of vectors and how to translate between these systems using matrix multiplication. The tutorial also covers the concept of inverse transformations and how they relate to matrix operations, emphasizing the idea of mathematical empathy in understanding different perspectives in linear algebra.

In what way do different basis vectors lead to different representations of the same vector?

What does it mean when we say that space has no intrinsic grid?

How does the choice of basis vectors affect the representation of transformations?

How can the concept of empathy be related to transformations between coordinate systems?
