Description: This is the second lecture we are showing from Derek Moulton's first-year Geometry course. This lecture provides an introduction to the concept of isometry, by which we mean a map from vector space to vector space that preserves distances. It outlines some basic ideas and makes the important connection to orthogonal matrices. Course materials here: people.maths.ox.ac.uk/moulton/teaching.html You can watch many other student lectures via our main Student Lectures playlist (also check out specific student lectures playlists): youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4d5ZtfQonW0A4VHeiY0gSkX1QEraaacE All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.
