= Transformation matrix
{wiki=Transformation_matrix}
A transformation matrix is a mathematical tool used to perform linear transformations on geometric objects, such as points, vectors, or shapes in space. In linear algebra, a transformation matrix represents a linear transformation, which is a function that maps vectors to other vectors while preserving the operations of addition and scalar multiplication. The properties of transformation matrices make them essential in various fields, including computer graphics, robotics, physics, and engineering.
