Linear Algebra: basis and matrices

Hi,

I have a question about linear transformation. So given a matrix A in the basis u (denoted as A_u). Now in another basis that I don't know, A_u becomes A_v.

How can I find v? (I know u, A_u and A_v).

Thank you very much,

You can't in general. For instance the identity matrix has in any basis the same form:

(I_u)_{ij}=(I_v)_{ij}=\delta_{ij}.
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
