We show that both compositions are the identity. We start with a matrix
and consider the matrix
-
Two matrices are equal, when the entries coincide for every index pair . We have
Now, let be a linear mapping, we consider
-
Two linear mappings coincide, due to
fact,
when they have the same values on the basis . We have
-
Due to the definition, the coefficient is the -th coordinate of with respect to the basis . Hence, this sum equals .
