Matrix Multiplication - Order Matters
In the last lesson, we studied how matrices act on vectors (stretches, shrinkages, reflections, rotations, etc.) and transform vectors into new vectors.
The successive application of these matrices can act as complex transformations, but because matrix multiplication is not commutative, the order of these transformations matter.
- The matrix with R output
> A
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 0.7071068 -0.7071068
[2,] 0.7071068 0.7071068
represents rotation of a 2-dimensional vector by 45 degrees counterclockwise.
- The matrix
> B
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 1 0
[2,] 0 -1
represents a reflection about the x (first) axis.
