operation can be done in any order
(a.b).c = (b.c).a
commutative
an operation is commutative is a.b = b.a

how do you know if two matrices will multiple?
(axb) (cxd)
where b and c are the same
and the product is axd
method for working out transformations
2 point trick
rotation matrix
cosθ -sinθ
sinθ cosθ
1 a
0 1
sheer parallel to x-axis mapping (0,1) to (a,1)
1 0
b 1
sheer parallel to y-axis mapping (1,0) to (1,b)
reflection in xz plane (y=0)
y -1
transformation b followed by transformation a
is the same as doing transformation ba
invariant point
does not move when a transformation is applied
