Isomorphism A Linear Transformation is said to be an Isomorphism if it is invertible. Note: It is common to say that linear space V is isomorphic to the linear space W if there exists an isomorphism (an invertible linear transformation) from V to W. In other words, you can multiply every vector in one space times an invertible matrix to generate the second space.
Problem 2 Revisited Determine if the transformation is an isomorphism:
Solution to Problem 2 Part 2
Determining an Isomorphism If the transformation is linear then:
Example 6 Note: P3 means polynomials of degree 3 or lower
Solution to Example 6
Problem 4 Determine if the transformation is linear. If so find the image and kernel and determine if it is an isomorphism (whether it is invertible). T(M) = det(M) from R2x2 to R
Problem 4 Solution T(M) = det(M) from R2x2 to R
Problem 21 Determine if the transformation is linear. If so find the image and kernel and determine if it is an isomorphism (whether it is invertible).

p.170 1-31 odd, 43,45 A mathematician is showing a new proof he came up with to a large group of peers. After he's gone through most of it, one of the mathematicians says,"Wait! That's not true. I have a counter-example!"He replies, "That's okay. I have two proofs."
