Matrix transformation is a mathematical operation that involves multiplying a matrix by another matrix to produce a new matrix. This process is commonly used in linear algebra to represent and manipulate transformations of geometric objects in space. The resulting matrix represents the combined effect of the individual transformations applied to the original object.

Matrix Transformation

A matrix transformation is a linear transformation that can be represented by a matrix. It is used to transform a point or a vector in one coordinate system to another coordinate system.

Definition:

Given two vector spaces V and W, a linear transformation L from V to W is a function that satisfies the following properties:

- Additivity: L(u + v) = L(u) + L(v) for all u, v ∈ V.
- Homogeneity: L(cu) = cL(u) for all u ∈ V and c ∈ F, where F is the field of scalars.

A matrix transformation is a linear transformation that can be represented by a matrix.

Representation:

Let A be an m × n matrix. The matrix transformation represented by A is defined as follows:

```
T(x) = Ax
```

where x is a column vector of size n and T(x) is a column vector of size m.

Properties:

- The matrix transformation T is linear.
- The matrix of T is A.
- The transformation can be applied to any column vector of size n.
- The transformation maps a column vector in V to a column vector in W.

Applications:

Matrix transformations are used in various areas, including:

- Graphics and computer vision
- Engineering and physics
- Linear algebra and matrix theory
- Image processing and signal processing
