Abstract

Recall the inhomogeneous system (I) of k linear equations in n unknowns, which we studied in Chapter 4.4. We consider the case k = n, where the number of equations to be solved equals the number of unknowns, and we shall use our results about bases in ℝn in the preceding chapter to study the question of existence and uniqueness of solutions of the system (I).
