Proving Finite-Dimensional Linear Transformations in Vector Spaces

AI Thread Summary
If V is a finite-dimensional vector space with a basis of n elements, the space of all linear transformations on V can be represented using n x n matrices. Each linear transformation corresponds to a unique matrix, and the dimension of the space of linear transformations is n^2. This is derived from the fact that each entry in the matrix can be independently chosen from the field over which the vector space is defined. Thus, the space of linear transformations on a finite-dimensional vector space is also finite-dimensional, with a dimension of n^2. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between the basis of V and the structure of linear transformations.

hi popitar! :smile:

hint: if V has a basis e1, … en then how would you list the linear transformations on V ? :wink:
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
