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:
“Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
