MAT 216 Lecture 3 Page 2 of 16 Linear Transformation Transformation: Transformation is actually mapping each element of the domain into some element of the codomain. It acts like a function. Definition: A transformation is a function that maps a set to itself. Example: Linear Transformation: A linear transformation is a function that maps a vector space into another vector space : Domain of Codomain of Two Properties of Linear Transformation: 1. , 2. , The elements of the set of are and . The elements of the set of are and We can combine the two properties into a single one: ; Linear transformations preserve linear combination.
