What Does Linearity Mean?

Linearity describes a special property of a transformation T from Rn to Rm such that any linear combination of inputs yields the respective linear combination of their outputs. A transformation such as this remains closed under the operations of addition and scalar multiplication.

Example of a Linear Transformation (system)

The following linear transformation takes any vector in R2 and maps it to another vector in R2 of same length rotated 45 degrees counter clockwise.
