Transformation matrix Definition and 69 Threads

I feel if we have the matrix equation X = AB, where X,A and B are matrices of the same order, then if we apply an elementary row operation to X on LHS, then we must apply the same elementary row operation to the matrix C = AB on the RHS and this makes sense to me. But the book says, that we...

T(α1), T(α2), T(α3) written in terms of β1, β2: Tα1 =(1,−3) Tα2 =(2,1) Tα3 =(1,0). Then there is row reduction: Therefore, the matrix of T relative to the pair B, B' is I don't understand why the row reduction takes place? Also, how do these steps relate to ## B = S^{-1}AS ##? Thank you.

Hello, Let's consider a vector ##X## in 2D with its two components ##(x_1 , x_2)_A## expressed in the basis ##A##. A basis is a set of two independent (unit or not) vectors. Any vector in the 2D space can be expressed as a linear combination of the two basis vectors in the chosen basis. There...

Hi. I came across the following statement , which seems wrong to me. Λμρ = ( ΛT )ρμ I have it on good authority (a previous post on this forum) that (ΛT)μν = Λνμ so I am hoping that the first equation is wrong ? It looks like the inverse not the transpose ? The equation Λμρ η μνΛνσ = ηρσ is...

Given the Lorentz matrix Λuv its transpose is Λvu but what is its transpose ? I have seen ΛuaΛub = δb a which implies an inverse. This seems to be some sort of swapping rows and columns but to get the inverse you also need to replace v with -v ? Also In the LT matrix is it the 1st slot...

We were asked to form the transformation matrix that rotates the x1 axis of a rectangular coordinate system 60 degrees toward x2 and the x3 axis. The thing is, I don't understand what it meant by rotating one axis toward the two other. Like, do I rotate x1 60 degrees toward the x2-x3 plane or...
