Change of Basis

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview

Changing the basis $ E\to E'$ the coordinates of a given vector $ v$ change according to

$\displaystyle v_E = A v_{E'},\, $

where the columns of matrix $ A$ contain the coefficients of basis vectors $ e'_i$ relative to basis $ E$:

$\displaystyle e'_i = \sum_j a_{j,i} e_j\, . $
