Construct the matrix of a linear map by expressing the images of the basis vectors in that same basis:
(1)
Thus the th column is . For , linearity gives
(2)
The column is a coordinate vector; reconstructing the actual vector requires . This distinguishes the linear map from its basis-dependent matrix.
