Study Notes
Coordinates of "X" Relative to "B"
- Coordinates represent the scalars needed to express vector "X" in terms of basis "B".
- This involves determining how much each basis vector in "B" contributes to forming "X".
- The process captures the idea of scaling the basis vectors to reconstruct the vector "X".
Change of Basis Formula
- The change of basis formula is crucial for transitioning between different vector representations.
- It relates the coordinates of a vector in one basis to its coordinates in another.
- Typically involves multiplication of the original coordinate vector by a transition matrix.
Transition Matrix from B to B Prime
- A transition matrix facilitates converting coordinates from basis "B" to basis "B prime".
- It is constructed using the vectors of the new basis "B prime" expressed in terms of the old basis "B".
- Essential for simplifying computations when working with different coordinate systems.
