Linear Algebra - Some Main Useful Theorems

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:

    “Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
