Hi guys,

I'm back and have another Linear Albgera question!

Thanks in advance.

No idea how to start

In both cases, you only need to apply the definition of coordinates. For $(a)$ express $v=x_1(1,0,1)+x_2(1,1,0)+x_3(0,1,1)$, solve the system and $[v]_{\mathcal{B}}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)^T$. For $(b)$, $w=1v_1+2v_2-3v_3$, where $\mathcal{B}=\{v_1,v_2,v_3\}$. Let us see what do you obtain.
 
The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
