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:
“The main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones, are good laws and good arms ... you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.”
—Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)
