Abstract
Presumably readers of this chapter will have had some basic acquaintance with linear algebra in elementary courses. We go beyond such courses by pointing out that a lot of results hold for free modules over a commutative ring. This is useful when one wants to deal with families of linear maps, and reduction modulo an ideal.
