Given an n-dimensional vector space X and basis set V = {v1 , ..., vn } for X , the coordinate mapping crdV : X Rn is dened by, for x X , crdV (x) = = (1 , ...n ), where is the unique linear combination of the i elements of V s.t. x = n i =1 i v . Let X and Y be n- and m-dimensional vector spaces with basis sets U and V. Given T L(X , Y ), dene M T by for i = 1, ...n, the i th column of M T is crdV (T (vi )). M T is the matrix representation of T given bases U and V. Dene the mapping MtxV,U : L(X , Y ) Fmn by for T L(X , Y ), MtxV,U (T ) = M T , the matrix rep. of T given bases U and V.
