How is a Composition different from a Transformation, and can u
provide examples on why they are different? thank you!. A
transformation doesn't distort. Presumably by "composition" you
mean composition of functions. If so, take a triangle, and take
the function which sends every point (x,y) on the triangle to
the point (x,0), then compose this with the function which
leaves every point alone (the trivial mapping). The composition
of these two functions distorts the triangle and thus is not a
transformation. I fear I may be misunderstanding what you have
in mind when you say "composition". Then it may that you and
ragnar are disagreeing on the meaning of "transformation". Even
a linear transformation may "distort" a picture so I would not
agree that "a transformation doesn't distort". In my experience,
we use the word "transformation" simply to mean a function when
want to think of it "geometrically". Of course, a "composition"
is a way of combining functions. Ah, for some reason I thought
this was under the
