Definition: A linear transformation T : V → V
is said to be non-singular if
T(v) = 0 ⇒ v=0
i.e. N(T) = {0}
i.e. T : V → W is an isomorphism if
(1) T is linear transformation.
(2) T is one-one.
(3) T is onto.
In general 𝑇1 𝑇2 ≠ 𝑇2 𝑇1
e.g. Let 𝑇1 , 𝑇2 : 𝑅2 → 𝑅2
𝑇1 𝑎, 𝑏 = 𝑎, 0 , 𝑇2 𝑎, 𝑏 = 0, 𝑎
𝑇1 𝑇2 𝑎, 𝑏 = 0,0 , 𝑇2 𝑇1 𝑎, 𝑏 = (0, 𝑎)
U,V,W be three vector spaces over the same field F.
Let T and T’ be linear transformations from U to V.
let S and S’ be linear transformations from V to W
then
(i) S (T + T’) = ST + ST’
(ii) (S + S’)T = ST + S’T
(iii) 𝛼(ST) = (𝛼𝑆)𝑇 = 𝑆 𝛼𝑇 for α ∈ F
Let V be a vector space over F
and T: V→V be a linear transformation ,
then T is invertible if and only if T is one –one and onto.
(i) T is invertible
(ii) T is non – singular i.e. the null space of T = {O}
Proof: T: V→W be invertible.
∃ S: W → V such that ST = TS =I
Let T(v) = 0
⇒ S(T(v)) =0
. ⇒ (ST)(v) =0
⇒ I(v)=0
⇒ v =0
Example: Let T be the linear operator on 𝑅 3 defined by
T( x, y, z) = (2x , 4x – y , 2x + 3y –z)
(i) show that T is invertible (ii) Find 𝑇 −1 .
Solution: To show T is invertible i.e. T is non-singular.
Let (x, y, z) ∈ N(T)
⇒ T(x, y, z) = (o,o,o)
⇒ (2x , 4x –y, 2x + 3y –z) = (0,0,0)
⇒ 2x =0, 4x –y = 0, 2x +3y –z =0
⇒ x=0,y=0, z=0
⇒ N(T) = { (0,0,0) }
hence T is non- singular and so T is invertible.
(ii) Let 𝑇 −1 (r, s, t) = (x, y, z).
⇒ T(x, y, z) = (r, s, t)
⇒ ( 2x, 4x – y, 2x +3y –z) = (r, s, t)
⇒ 2x= r , 4x – y = s , 2x +3y –z = t
1
⇒ x = r , y = 2r – s , z = 7r -3s –t
2
−1 1
⇒ 𝑇 ( r,s,t) = ( r , 2r –s , 7r -3s – t).

Let V and W be finite-dimensional vector spaces
and dimV = n & dimW = m
Let B={𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , … … . . , 𝑥𝑛 } be an ordered basis of V and
𝐵1 ={𝑦1 , 𝑦2 , … … . . , 𝑦𝑚 } be an ordered basis of W.
Let T : V → W be a linear transformation
(for x ∈ V, T(x) is uniquely expressible as
linear combination of elements of W.)
