Study Notes

Linear Transformations and Matrices

A linear transformation T : R2 → R2 that projects every vector onto the line y = x has a specific matrix.
A linear transformation T : R3 → R3 that reflects every vector in the yz-plane and then doubles its length has a specific matrix.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

Let T : Rn → Rn be a linear transformation.

Geometry behind Linear Dependence of Vectors

Two non-zero vectors u and v are linearly dependent if and only if they are parallel, i.e., u = λv, for some λ ∈ R.
Three non-zero vectors in R3 are linearly dependent if and only if they lie in the same plane when their tails are put together.

Inverse Matrices

A square matrix A is called invertible (or non-singular) if there exists a matrix denoted by A−1 such that A−1 A = AA−1 = I.
Matrix A−1 is called the inverse of A.
If A does not have an inverse, it is called singular.

Matrices for Linear Transformations

A linear transformation T has a matrix associated with it.
The matrix associated with T can be found using different approaches.

Inverse Transformations

If a linear transformation T : Rn → Rn has an inverse T −1 , then there exists another linear transformation S : Rn → Rn that reverses the action of T , i.e., if T (u) = v, then S(v) = u, for any u ∈ Rn.
Suppose that A and B are matrices associated with T and T −1 , respectively.
