Suppose M is the matrix that describes T in a given basis B, so that
the columns of M represent the images of the members of B expressed as
linear combinations of the members of B, and M is the matrix similarly
describing T with respect to basis B.
What is the relation of M to M?
Let J be the (Jacobian) matrix whose columns are the basis vectors of
B expressed in terms of those of B.
Then MJ has columns which are the images of the basis vectors of B expressed
in terms of those of B.
To reexpress these in terms of the basis vectors of B you must multiply on the
left by the matrix which expresses the members of B as linear combinations of
those of B.
This is the inverse Jacobian, J-1. We therefore have M
= J-1 MJ, and, by our last result, as claimed:
M
