Affine Maps
Definition.   If V is a vector space, a translation t : V --> V is a map that is given by t(x) = x + a for some a in V and all x in V.
Definition.   If V is a vector space, an affine map f : V --> V is a map that may be written as the composition t \circ l where l : V --> V is a linear map and t : V --> V is a translation.
Note that saying f = l \circ t i.e., f(x) = l(x + a) for some a in V, rather than f = t \circ l, i.e., f(x) = l(x) + a for some a in V, would change the definition of affine map.

Exercises:

  1. Find an affine map f of R^{2} for which f(0, 0) = (1, -1), f(1,0) = (4, -1), and f(0, 1) = (4, 3).

  2. When f is an affine map, let lambda(f) denote its linear component. Show that lambda(g \circ h) = lambda(g) \circ lambda(h).

  3. Show that an affine map f is invertible if and only if its linear component lambda(f) is invertible.

  4. (Corrected) Show that if f is an invertible affine map of V and t a translation of V, then f \circ t \circ f^{-1} is a translation.
