Coordinate System Hung-yi Lee
Outline Coordinate Systems Each coordinate system is a viewpoint for vector representation. The same vector is represented differently in different coordinate systems. Different vectors can have the same representation in different coordinate systems. Changing Coordinates Reference: textbook Ch 4.4

Coordinate System A vector set B can be considered as a coordinate system for Rnif: 1. The vector set B spans the Rn Every vector should have representation 2. The vector set B is independent Unique representation B is a basis of Rn
Why Basis? Let vector set B= ?1,?2, ,?? be independent. Any vector v in Span B can be uniquely represented as a linear combination of the vectors in B. That is, there are unique scalars ?1,?2, ,??such that ? = ?1?1+ ?2?2+ + ???? Proof: ? = ?1?1+ ?2?2+ + ???? Unique? ? = ?1?1+ ?2?2+ + ???? ?1 ?1?1+ ?2 ?2?2+ + ?? ????= 0 a1 b1= a2 b2= = ak bk= 0 B is independent
Coordinate System Let vector set B= ?1,?2, ,?? be a basis for a subspace Rn B is a coordinate system For any v in Rn, there are unique scalars ?1,?2, ,??such that ? = ?1?1+ ?2?2+ + ???? B -coordinate vector of v: ?B= ( B v)
Coordinate System B= ?1,?2, ,?? vector ?B E= ?1,?2, ,?? (standard vectors) vector E is Cartesian coordinate system ( ) ? = ?E
