Change of basis is a concept in linear algebra that involves converting coordinates of vectors from one basis to another. In simpler terms, every vector in a vector space can be expressed in terms of different sets of basis vectors. When we change the basis, we are essentially changing the way we describe vectors in that space. A basis for a vector space is a set of linearly independent vectors that span the space.
where:
- : matrix in the old basis
- : matrix in the new basis
- : change of basis matrix
