Linear TransformationsThe two basic vector operations are addition and scaling. From this perspec-tive, the nicest functions are those which preserve these operations:Def:Alinear transformationis a functionT:Rn Rmwhich satisfies:(1)T(x+y) =T(x) +T(y) for allx,y Rn(2)T(cx) =cT(x) for allx Rnandc :IfT:Rn Rmis a Linear transformation , thenT(0) = ve already met examples of Linear Transformations . Namely: ifAisanym nmatrix, then the functionT:Rn Rmwhich is matrix-vectormultiplicationT(x) =Axis a Linear transformation .(Wait: I thought matriceswerefunctions? Technically, no. Matrices are lit-erally just arrays of numbers. However, matricesdefinefunctions by matrix-vector multiplication, and such functions are always Linear Transformations .)Question:Are these all the Linear Transformations there are?
