It suffices to keep track of where ( 1 , 0 ) and ( 0 , 1 ) are mapped to. In particular, we have
( 1 , 0 ) ( 1 , 0 ) ( 0 , 1 ) ( 0 , 1 ) ( 0 , 1 ) ( 1 , 0 )
So, the matrix of T is the matrix with these columns. That is,
[ T ] = ( 0 1 1 0 )
It is worth noting that this is in fact the counterclockwise rotation by 90
We could also have expressed this composition of maps as a matrix multiplication. That is,
( 0 1 1 0 ) ( 1 0 0 1 ) = ( 0 1 1 0 )
