Non-Linear Transformations

1) Essence of Linear Algebra Matrices

Definition Matrix Exponentiation: Raising a matrix to a power greater than one, as in �2A2 or ��An, is not a linear transformation. The composition of linear transformations is not equivalent to matrix exponentiation. Matrix Logarithm: Taking...

Matrix multiplication and Composition

1) Essence of Linear Algebra Matrices

In order to describe the effects of multiple sequential matrix transformation, such as a rotate and then a shear, we use matrix multiplication on those individual matrices to create a new matrix, called composition, to perform the action at once.  ...

Determinant

1) Essence of Linear Algebra

Determinant is the scaling factor that if the linear transformation changes any area   Scaling changes the area    Skewing does not change the area    Left hand right hand rule is involved

Linear System of Equations
