Visualise a linear transformation on R^2 by looking at the image of a region

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

To visualize $T(x)=Ax$ on $\mathbb R^2$, transform the vertices and edges of a square or grid. For $A=\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$, the unit square's vertices become $(0,0),(1,0),(2,1),(1,1)$. Straight edges remain straight, producing a sheared parallelogram.
