In this question, $V(a,k)$ denotes the $a$-dimensional vector space over the field $k$. Now consider $V(b,k)$ and $V(c,k)$, and let $M$ be a singular $(c times b)$-matrix over $k$. Let $ell_M: V(b,k) mapsto V(c,k)$ be the linear transformation induced by $M$.
What kind of map does $ell_M$ induce between the projective spaces $mathbbP^b - 1(k)$ and $mathbbP^c - 1(k)$ (seen as projective varieties)? I guess it is a rational map, but what are the most interesting, or useful/important, examples of maps of this type ?

    This is a projection of $mathbf P^b-1$ onto some $mathbf P^d$ followed by a linear embedding of $mathbf P^d$ into $mathbf P^c-1$. The centre of the projection is the linear subspace of $mathbf P^b-1$ obtained by projectivising the kernel of $M$.
