Questions tagged [change-of-basis]

This tag is for question about changing basis of a finite dimensional vector space. For example, how does the representation of a vector, or a matrix change with the change of basis. Please don't use this tag on its own, it is better to add a more general tag which is relevant to your question, e.g. [linear-algebra] or [matrices] for better visibility.

In $\mathbb{R}^2$, consider the following ordered basis: $$B=((1,0),(0,1)),\text{ }C=((-1,1),(1,1)),\text{ and }D=((\sqrt{3},1),(\sqrt{3},-1))$$ Find the change of basis matrix from $B$ to $C$, from $...

For a linear transformation A and a k-blade $b=v_1\wedge v_2 \wedge\dots\wedge v_k$ we take the outermorphism of $A$ acting on $b$ to mean $\underline A(b):= A(v_1)\wedge A(v_2)\wedge\dots\wedge A(v_k)...
