Abstract
In this chapter we will begin the study of matrices, which are the analogue for linear transformations of coordinates for vectors. Our approach will be to consider first the case of a linear transformation
in some detail and then abstract the salient features to the general case. This leads to an agebra for matrices, which we then pursue further.
