  • In this video, I show how to explicitly calculate dual bases. More specifically, I find the dual basis corresponding to the basis (2,1) and (3,1) of R^2. Hopefully this will give you a better idea of how dual bases work.

    I study mathematics at the University of São Paulo (USP), and in this quarantine time I can't go there. My course is very abstract and I have many difficulties to understand the algebraic examples. I'm practicing the English, and you helped me so much in English and maths. Thanks

      No fim, percebi que boa parte dessa dificuldade com abstrações era por não ter um propósito claro na Pura e a frustração de pensar "poxa, por que to aprendendo isso?", situação essa que mudou após eu ter migrado pra Estat

    So long story short: "How to calculate the dual basis?"
    1) Write your basis vectors as column vectors in a matrix.
    2) Invert that matrix
    3) Your dual basis vectors are the row vectors of your inverted matrix

      Yesterday i had my linear algebra exam and i literally forgot that dual basis even existed so i didn’t learn it. 10 minutes before the exam started i quickly tried to look if someone made a short video about it but this was the only one i found and i didn’t had that much time to watch it. Then i read your comment and this was the only thing i knew about this topic. Ironically, i had to calculate a dual basis and i did it exactly like you said (it was correct). Now i got the results and i passed it very very close.
      Long story short: without your comment i would have failed the exam and had to redo the class next year. So thank you stranger from the internet, you saved my semester 🙏🏻

    While finding f1(x,y) , you expressed (x,y) in terms of standard basis , that is , x(1,0) + y(0,1) , But why ? In the problem , it's given that beta is our basis , (2,1) and (3,1) . So why didnt we express (x,y) in terms of these basis ?

    • @student99bg
      @student99bg Před měsícem

      I didn't understand that too. Also, he said f(x,y) = 2x - 5y is arbitrary, but then he got 2x-5y by not plugging that f(x,y)=2x - 5y information anywhere. He got 2x - 5y just by picking the basis vectors to be (2,1) and (3,1).
      So, I don't understand how is f(x,y) = 2x - 5y arbitrary when he got 2x - 5y by only plugging in the information that basis vectors are (2,1) and (3,1)
      I would like to see an example of a vector expressed with bases (2,1) and (3,1). For instance, I would like to see what happens if the input vector is 11(2,1) + 7(3,1)

    Can this problem be solved by not using standard basis, but rather the basis you used in beta? So insead of writing f_1(x,y) = (f_1(x(1,0) + y(0,1)) we would write x and y in terms of (2,1) and (3,1)

    Didn't we just end up computing the inverse of the matrix that has the 2 basis vectors of V as rows ? It seems that the 4 coefficients we solved for ---> f_1(1,0), f_1(0,1), f_2(1,0) and f_2(0,1), are respectively -1, 3, 1 and -2. If we organize (-1,3) as the first column of a matrix and (1,-2) as the second, than that matrix is precisely the inverse of the matrix containing the 2 basis vectors of V as columns. This CANNOT be a coincidence
