LINEAR TRANSFORMATION:

Linear transformation in T : V → W is a function that carries the elements of the vector space V
(Domain) to the vector space W(codomain).

Linear Transformation has two conditions/properties and these are:

(a) T(u1+u2) = T(u1)+T(u2) for all belonging in U.

(b) T(αu) = αT(u) for all u belonging to C.

KERNEL: If T : V → W is a linear transformation, then the set of vectors in V that T maps into 0 is
called the kernel of T.

RANGE:???

***IMPORTANT***

If T : V → W is a linear transformation, then:

(a) The KERNAL of T is a subspace of V.

(b) The RANGE of T is a subspace of W.

RANK & NULLITY: Let T : V → W be a linear transformation.

(a) If the RANGE of T is finite-dimensional, then its dimension is called the rank of T.

(b) If the KERNEL of T is finite-dimensional, then its dimension is called the nullity of T.

ONE-ONE & ONTO: Let T : V → W be a linear transformation.

(a) T is said to be one-to-one if T maps distinct vectors in V into distinct vectors in W.

(b) T is said to be onto if every vector in W is the image of at least one vector in V.

LINEAR INDEPENDENCE: Let S be a set containing two or more vectors: S={v1,v2....vn}.

S is said to be linear independent set if no vector in S can be expressed as a linear combination of

others.

DIMENSION: Dimension is the number of vectors in a vector space.

If given T : V → W, then,

rank(T) + nullity(T) = dimension(V)

SUBSPACES:

R2: {0},Lines through origin,R2

R3: {0},Lines through origin,Planes through origin, R3.

ISOMORPHISM: A linear transformation T :V → W that is both one-to-one and onto is said to be an

isomorphism, and W is said to be isomorphic to V.

MATRIX TRANSFORMATION: Let A be an m*n matrix. Define a map T : R n → Rm. This matrix
transformation.

BASIS: Let S be a set of vectors in finite dimensional vector V.

Therefore, S = {v1,v2,......,vn}

Then we can call S to be a basis of V if:

(a) S spans V

(b) S is linearly independent.

SKEW SYMMETRIC MATRIX: is a square matrix whose transpose equals its negative.

Dimension = ½n(n-1).
