Linear transformations and matrices | Chapter 3, Essence of linear algebra
Linear transformations in two dimensions are completely determined by where they send the two basis vectors, and matrices are just a compact way to...
Eigenvectors and eigenvalues | Chapter 14, Essence of linear algebra
Eigenvectors are the vectors that stay on their own span under a linear transformation—meaning the transformation only stretches or squishes them,...
Matrix multiplication as composition | Chapter 4, Essence of linear algebra
Matrix multiplication isn’t just a computational trick—it’s a compact way to represent composing linear transformations. A linear transformation is...
Dot products and duality | Chapter 9, Essence of linear algebra
Dot products don’t just measure “how much two vectors point together”—they secretly encode a linear transformation. That deeper link, revealed...
Nonsquare matrices as transformations between dimensions | Chapter 8, Essence of linear algebra
Non-square matrices aren’t a special case—they’re the standard way to encode linear transformations between spaces of different dimensions. A...
Abstract vector spaces | Chapter 16, Essence of linear algebra
Linear algebra’s core move is to treat “vectors” as anything that supports two operations—addition and scaling—so long as they obey a fixed set of...
Linear Algebra 53 | Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
Eigenvalues and eigenvectors identify the special directions a linear transformation preserves—up to scaling—when a matrix acts on space. For a...
