ECE 6382 Functions of a Complex Variable as Mappings D. R. Wilton ECE Dept. 8/24/10
A General Linear Transformation (Mapping) Is a Combination of Translation, Rotation, and Dilation
A General Bilinear Transformation (Mapping) Is a Succession of Translations, Rotations, Dilations, and Inversions
Bilinear Transformation Example: The Smith Chart For an interpretation of mobius transformations as projections on a sphere, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX3VmDgiFnY
