Linear Transformations on Vector Spaces

The video tutorial introduces linear transformations, explaining them as functions on vector spaces. It covers the properties required for transformations to be linear, such as scalar multiplication and vector addition. An example of a linear transformation from R2 to R3 is verified, demonstrating the conditions for linearity. The tutorial also explains how to represent linear transformations as matrices using the standard basis. Finally, it discusses practical applications of linear transformations, including stretching, rotating, and shifting coordinate systems.
