L(V, W) Fm×n
Proof. . Let B be an ordered basis for V and B0 an ordered basis for W and consider the
mapping
ϕ : L(V, W) −→ Fm×n
T 7→ AT the matrix of T relative to B, B0
. ϕ is well-defined and one-to-one: Done by Theorem 11, which ensures Existence of the
matrix of T and its Uniqueness.

. ϕ is linear:

For any T, T0 ∈ L(V, W) and c ∈ F, and any α ∈ V, we have

. It follows that ϕ is non-singular, and hence an isomorphism by Theorem 9, since dim(L(V, W)) =
