Back to Any Matrix Represents a Linear Map

Exercise 17

Avg difficulty 3.0

Example 2.3 shows that changing the pair of bases can change the map that a matrix represents, even though the domain and codomain remain the same. Could the map ever not change? Is there a matrix HH, vector spaces VV and WW, and associated pairs of bases B1,D1B_{1},D_{1} and B2,D2B_{2},D_{2} (with B1≠B2B_{1}\neq B_{2} or D1≠D2D_{1}\neq D_{2} or both) such that the map represented by HH with respect to B1,D1B_{1},D_{1} equals the map represented by HH with respect to B2,D2B_{2},D_{2}?
