Change of basis in linear algebra refers to the transformation of a vector representation from one basis to another, allowing for different perspectives or simplifications of a problem. This process involves a transition matrix that converts coordinates of vectors with respect to one basis into coordinates with respect to another basis, preserving the vector's intrinsic properties.

Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with vector spaces and linear mappings between these spaces, focusing on the study of lines, planes, and subspaces. It is fundamental in various scientific fields, providing tools for solving systems of linear equations, performing transformations, and analyzing vector spaces and matrices.

A transition matrix is a square matrix used to describe the transitions of a Markov chain, with each element representing the probability of moving from one state to another. It is fundamental in modeling stochastic processes where future states depend only on the current state, not on the sequence of events that preceded it.
