Linear Mapping

Linear mapping is a mathematical way of transforming one set of data or points into another, while preserving the straight-line relationships between them. Imagine drawing points on a grid and stretching or shrinking the grid in a consistent way—lines remain straight, angles stay the same, and proportions are maintained. This process is called a linear transformation. It's used in various fields like graphics, engineering, and data analysis to manipulate data systematically and predictably, ensuring that relationships between points are preserved during the transformation.
