Matrices as Linear Maps

Geometry and algebra of linear maps, vectors, and matrices

A matrix is more than a grid of numbers. It is a function that transforms space: feed it a vector x and it hands back a new vector Ax. Across the whole plane it acts as one coherent motion (a rotation, a stretch, a reflection, a shear, a projection) applied to every point at once.
