By studying how Bob would view a dilation in Rachel's framework, we are led to the notion of a generalized dilation. Going from one basis to the other involves a 'Change of basis matrix'. We show how these ideas lead naturally to the important concepts of eigenvectors and associated eigenvalues, and give examples of finding them.
