Meaning of isomorphism of vector spaces depending on basis

208 Views Asked by At

What does it mean if we say isomorphism $f:V\to W$ of vector spaces $\mathbb{V}$ and $\mathbb{W}$ depends on basis?

As far as I know basis is introduced after linear mappings. It makes no sense to me how can such notion be formally defined, can someone provide example and counterexample?
