Linear Algebra MT23, Homomorphisms


Flashcards

What is the vector space $\mathrm{Hom}(V, W)$?

The vector space formed by all linear maps between $V$ and $W$.

How can you see that if $\dim V = n$ and $\dim W = m$, then $\dim \mathrm{Hom}(V, W)$ will be $nm$?

Consider the matrices representing the linear transformations.
