 Within a **[[#​space]]**,​ given a **[[#​basis]]**,​ each **[[linear#​linear map|linear transformation]]** can be represented by a square matrix and every appropriately sized matrix is a linear transformation. Transformations can be thought of as mappings, or as **[[#​functions]]**. Matrices can represent these very usefully. In two dimensional space here are some examples: Within a **[[#​space]]**,​ given a **[[#​basis]]**,​ each **[[linear#​linear map|linear transformation]]** can be represented by a square matrix and every appropriately sized matrix is a linear transformation. Transformations can be thought of as mappings, or as **[[#​functions]]**. Matrices can represent these very usefully. In two dimensional space here are some examples:
