What Do C[T]B and B[T]B Mean in Linear Transformations?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the notations C[T]B and B[T]B in the context of linear transformations, specifically relating to transformation matrices. C[T]B refers to the transformation of vector B into the coordinate system defined by basis C, while B[T]B indicates the transformation of vector B within its own basis. Understanding these notations is crucial for interpreting transformation matrices in linear algebra accurately.

My prof uses this all over his notes, and I'm still not 100% sure what he means by it:

C[T]B

or

B[T]B

From what I can gather, it has something to do with a transformation matrix, but where the B and C come into play, I have no idea.
