Abstract
The idea of ‘linear independence’ is fundamental not only to matrix algebra but to other branches of mathematics as well. It is, indeed, one of the really basic notions of mathematics and much of what follows will rely on the consequences of a set of vectors being linearly independent or otherwise. We begin therefore with a formal definition of this key idea.
