Study Notes
Linear Transformations
Definition
A linear transformation is a function between vector spaces that preserves the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication.
Properties
-
Linearity: A function T: V → W is linear if it satisfies:
- T(av) = aT(v) for any scalar a and vector v
- T(v + w) = T(v) + T(w) for any vectors v and w
- Additivity: T(v + w) = T(v) + T(w)
- Homogeneity: T(av) = aT(v)
Matrix Representation
- A linear transformation can be represented by a matrix
- If T: ℝⁿ → ℝᵐ is a linear transformation, then there exists an m x n matrix A such that:
- T(v) = Av for any vector v in ℝⁿ
Operations on Linear Transformations
- Composition: The composition of two linear transformations is also a linear transformation
- Inverse: If a linear transformation has an inverse, it is also a linear transformation
- Scalar Multiplication: The scalar multiple of a linear transformation is also a linear transformation
Types of Linear Transformations
- Injection (One-to-One): A linear transformation that maps distinct inputs to distinct outputs
- Surjection (Onto): A linear transformation that maps to every output in the codomain
- Bijection (One-to-One Correspondence): A linear transformation that is both an injection and a surjection
Applications in Data Science
- Data Transformation: Linear transformations can be used to transform data from one space to another
- Dimensionality Reduction: Linear transformations can be used to reduce the dimensionality of high-dimensional data
- Feature Extraction: Linear transformations can be used to extract relevant features from data

Matrix Representation
- A linear transformation can be represented by a matrix A, where T(v) = Av for any vector v.
Operations on Linear Transformations
- Composition of two linear transformations is also a linear transformation.
