the two possible basis orientations are called right-handed and left-handed (or right-chiral and left-chiral).

Definition

Let V be a finite-dimensional real vector space and let b₁ and b₂ be two ordered bases for V. It is a standard result in linear algebra that there exists a unique linear transformation A : V -> V that takes b₁ to b₂. The bases b₁
