The video tutorial explains the concept of basis vectors and how any vector in a vector space can be expressed as a linear combination of these basis vectors. It introduces the idea of coordinate systems relative to different bases and demonstrates how to convert between these systems using transition matrices. The tutorial provides examples of coordinate transformations, illustrating the process of converting vector coordinates from one basis to another, including the use of inverse matrices for such conversions.

What is an ordered basis for a vector space?

• A set of vectors that are linearly dependent

• A set of vectors that are equal in magnitude
