这是一篇来自加拿大的关于向量、矩阵和转换的研究问题CS代写
These questions will attempt to build your intuition about transformations, coordinate systems, and basic geometry used in this course. Most of the questions are straightforward, with brief answers and no tricks. In some cases, many answers will be correct, but you can probably guess what answer is most appropriate by looking at the lecture slides. Answers will not be provided.
