Some Main Useful Theorems
- A matrix is invertible, or non-singular, if and only if the linear map represented by the matrix is an isomorphism.
- Any vector space over a field F of dimension n is isomorphic to Fn as a vector space over F.
- Corollary: Any two vector spaces over F of the same finite dimension are isomorphic to each other.
- A linear map is an isomorphism if and only if the determinant is nonzero.

Famous quotes containing the word main:
“What is done for science must also be done for art: accepting undesirable side effects for the sake of the main goal, and moreover diminishing their importance by making this main goal more magnificent. For one should reform forward, not backward: social illnesses, revolutions, are evolutions inhibited by a conserving stupidity.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
