- 5.1: Linear Transformations
- Recall that when we multiply an m×n matrix by an n×1 column vector, the result is an m×1 column vector. In this section we will discuss how, through matrix multiplication, an m×n matrix transforms an n×1 column vector into an m×1 column vector.
- 5.2: The Matrix of a Linear Transformation I
- In the above examples, the action of the linear transformations was to multiply by a matrix. It turns out that this is always the case for linear transformations.
- 5.3: Properties of Linear Transformations
- Let \(T: \mathbb{R}^n \mapsto \mathbb{R}^m\) be a linear transformation. Then there are some important properties of \(T\) which will be examined in this section.
- 5.4: Special Linear Transformations in R²
- In this section, we will examine some special examples of linear transformations in \(\mathbb{R}^2\) including rotations and reflections.
- 5.5: One-to-One and Onto Transformations
- This section is devoted to studying two important characterizations of linear transformations, called One to One and Onto.
- 5.6: Isomorphisms
- A mapping \(T:V\rightarrow W\) is called a linear transformation or linear map if it preserves the algebraic operations of addition and scalar multiplication.
- 5.7: The Kernel and Image of A Linear Map
- In this section we will consider the case where the linear transformation is not necessarily an isomorphism.
- 5.8: The Matrix of a Linear Transformation II
- We discuss the main result of this section, that is how to represent a linear transformation with respect to different bases.
- 5.9: The General Solution of a Linear System
- It turns out that we can use linear transformations to solve linear systems of equations.

The linear combinations relating the first set to the other extend to a linear transformation, called the change of basis. (CC0; Maschen via Wikipedia)
