We really do, it's getting more and more confusing yet that's a sign of progress! :D
Matrix Representation of Linear Mappings
Congratulations! Now you can't just write a basis without worrying if the basis is ordered or not. You've reached a stage where it's getting more and more technical. Now:
The topic that's going to be discuss later on will matter if the vector are in order or not.
Coordinates
Consider a vector space and an ordered basis
We obtain a unique representation (linear combination)
of x with respect to B. Then:
is the coordinate vector / representation of x with respect to the ordered basis B.
Coordinate vector?
Yup, a basis effectively defines a coordinate system, much like the cartesian system.
There's a slight difference though, in this coordinate system, a vector:
has a representation that tells us how to linearly combine
to obtain x.
What's the difference?
Yeah, cartesian is also a coordinate system that requires two points to make a two dimensional plain. But there's a twist, any basis of the vector defines a valid coordinate representation.
Example:
This means we can write it as:
However, we don't have to use the standard basis! be creative, for example, we can use:
Proof
What? how does changing one of the value into a minus affect it? Then let me change it into something that's easier to digest.
Then we use addition on it to find b
Then to get the author's version, we just put the half on the front!
See! it's the same value, just from a different perspective

Very good post !!!
Honestly, with my level of confidence I'm more incline to think this is sarcasm more than anything.
Unless it's the meme. I'm proud of the meme this day :D
Don't think that way. You are writing that many do not have the courage. Remember dedication and discipline are your greatest weapons.
Thank you sc0v0ne.
But, while I agree that dedication and discipline should be commended, without teaching and guidance it'll only get me so far. So if you feel the posts are wrong, please do tell me :D
Of course I'll talk hahaha.
