A linear transformation is also known as a linear operator or map. Linear transformations matrix transformations linear.
A linear transformation is a function from one vector space to another that respects the underlying linear structure of each vector space. Note that the definition of a linear transformation requires that it be a function, so every element of the domain should be associated with some element of the codomain. In order to call a particular function to be a linear transformation or linear map, it has to satisfy the following properties math1. Here matrix a maps a vector x from one space the domain into the vector y in another space the range. This means you take the first number in the first row of the second matrix and scale multiply it with the first coloumn in the first matrix.

A linear transformation necessarily takes the zero vector to the zero vector. For a matrix transformation, we translate these questions into the language of matrices. You do this with each number in the row and coloumn, then move to the next row and coloumn and do the same.
