Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 3.0

Let ff be a correspondence between vector spaces VV and WW (that is, a map that is one-to-one and onto). Show that the spaces VV and WW are isomorphic via ff if and only if there are bases B⊂VB\subset V and D⊂WD\subset W such that corresponding vectors have the same coordinates: RepB(v⃗)=RepD(f(v⃗)){\rm Rep}_{B}(\vec{v})={\rm Rep}_{D}(f(\vec{v})).
