In this video, I review the definition of basis, and discuss the notion of coordinates of a vector relative to that basis.

The properties of a basis of a subspace guarantee that a vector in that subspace can be written as a linear combination of the basis vectors in only one way. The weights in that unique linear combination are called the coordinates of the vector relative to that basis.

We learned about how vectors can form a basis for a vector space, and we can express any vector within a vector space as a linear combination of the basis vectors. But there can be more than one set of basis vectors. What if we want to express a vector using some other basis rather than the standard basis? Well we can implement a change of basis, so let’s learn how to do that!
