Linear mapping/Finite dimensional/Change of basis/Fact

From Wikiversity

Let K denote a field, and let V and W denote finite-dimensional K-vector spaces. Let 𝔳 and 𝔲 be bases of V, and 𝔴 and 𝔷 bases of W. Let

φ:VW

denote a linear mapping, which is described by the matrix M𝔴𝔳(φ) with respect to the bases 𝔳 and 𝔴.

Then φ is described with respect to the bases

𝔲 and 𝔷 by the matrix

M𝔷𝔴(M𝔴𝔳(φ))(M𝔲𝔳)1,

where M𝔲𝔳 and M𝔷𝔴 are the transformation matrices that describe the change of basis from 𝔳 to 𝔲 and from

𝔴 to 𝔷.
