Definition of matrix representation of a linear transformation from a vector space to itself

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

For an operator $T:V\to V$ and one ordered basis $B$, its matrix $[T]_B$ uses that same basis for input and output. It satisfies $[T(v)]_B=[T]_B[v]_B$. Using different bases at the two ends is valid but no longer gives the usual similarity relation for changing operator basis.
