Linear map

In mathematics, and more specifically in linear algebra, a linear map, linear mapping, or linear operator is a particular kind of function between vector spaces, which respects the basic operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication. A standard example of a linear map is an m × n {\displaystyle m\times n} matrix, which takes vectors in n…
