Let \(T :V \rightarrow W\) be a bijective linear transformation between vector spaces \(V\) and \(W\) . Let \(B = {v1, v2, . . . , v_l} \subseteq V\) be a finite set of size \(l\), and let \[ T(B) = {T(v_1), T(v_2), \dots, T(v_l)} \subseteq Q \] be the transformed set.
Then \(|T(B)| = |B|\). Moreover, \(B\) is a basis of \(V\) if and only if \(T(B)\) is a basis of \(W\). We therefore also have \(\dim(V) = \dim(W)\).
This holds because of the bijectivity of the linear transformation.
Further, if there is one such bijective transformation, then we call the vector spaces isomorphic and \(T\) an isomorphism between \(V\) and \(W\) (Definition 4.28).
