This
Microworld explores with various visual techniques the relations between 2x2
matrices and the geometric transformations of the plane that they represent.
The reader may use the transformations provided or create her own to investigate,
for example, the effect of an inversion on a polygon. This bridge between
algebra and geometry is reinforced by the use of matrix-vector notation to
display in symbolic form the effect of a transformation on a point.
