10: Change of bases
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
In Section 6.6, we saw that linear operators on an n-dimensional vector space are in one-to-one correspondence with n×n matrices. This correspondence, however, depends upon the choice of basis for the vector space. In this chapter we address the question of how the matrix for a linear operator changes if we change from one orthonormal basis to another.
