Geometrical Transformations

...
They
also have many important applications
...
For example, structural engineers use stretches,
shears, and rotations to understand the deformation of materials
...
Many of
these simple geometrical transformations in R2 and R3 are linear
...

(projil and perpil belong to the list of geometrical transformations, too, but they were
discussed in Chapter 1 and so are not included here
...
See Figure 3

...
Thus, Re(t1) = tRe(1) for any t E R
...
Since the shape
of a parallelogram is not altered by a rotation, the picture for the parallelogram rule of
addition should be unchanged under a rotation, so Re(1 + y) = Re(1) + Re(Y)

Is it

possible to determine the matrix of a rotation about an arbitrary axis in JR ? We shall
see how to do this in Chapter 7

...


Stretches Imagine that all lengths in the x1 -direction in the plane are stretched by a
scalar factor t > 0, while lengths in the x2-direction are left unchanged (Figure 3
...

...
) It should be obvious that

stretches can also be defined in the x2-direction and in higher dimensions
...


Contractions and Dilations If a linear operator T : JR2

[� �l

with t > 0, then for any 1, T(x)

=



JR2 has matrix

tx, so that this transformation stretches

vectors in all directions by the same factor
...
If 0 < t < 1, such a
transformation is called a contraction; if t > l, it is a dilation

Sometimes a force applied to a rectangle will cause it to deform into a paral­

General Reflections

We consider only reflections in (or "across") lines in JR
