Convex Geometry
An affine transformation is a function between affine spaces that preserves points, straight lines, and planes. It consists of a linear transformation followed by a translation, allowing for operations such as scaling, rotation, reflection, and shearing. These transformations maintain the properties of convexity in sets, making them essential in understanding how convex shapes behave under various manipulations.
