Abstract

This paper has been inspired by and is intended to illustrate three methodological principles. First, the duality aspect of linear algebra: All spaces and all maps between them occur in dual pairs. Second, mapping diagram techniques: These are indispensable for following the composition of maps, which, unlike their matrix formulations, present themselves in a basis-free way. Third, Euclidean structures, usually given to a space, V, by assigning it an inner product, can be also specified by a suitable map E: V -> V*, from V to its dual.
