	Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linear algebra, a basis is a minimum set of vectors that, when combined, can address every vector in a given space.
		More precisely, a basis of a vector space is a set of linearly independent vectors that span the whole space.
		What is called an orthonormal basis is a set of mutually orthogonal unit vectors that "span" the space via sometimes-infinite linear combinations.

	PlanetMath: linear algebra
		Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics devoted to the theory of linear structure.
		From the geometric point of view, “linear” is synonymous with “straight”, and consequently linear algebra can be regarded as the branch of mathematics dealing with lines and planes, as well as with transformations of space that preserve “straightness”, e.g.
		Linearity is a very basic notion, and consequently linear algebra has applications in numerous areas of mathematics, science, and engineering.

	Glossary - Linear Algebra
		The linear transformation T is 1-to-1 if and only if the null space of its corresponding matrix has only the zero vector in its null space.
		A basis of a vector space is an ordered set of vectors which is linearly independent and spans the vector space.
		Note that every basis of a vector space has the same number of vectors, which is called the dimension of the vector space.

	Centrality of Linear Algebra
		The separate linear algebra course became a standard part of the college mathematics curriculum in the United States in the 1950s and 60s and some colleges and universities were still adding the course in the early 1970s.
		Many colleges and universities are introducing a second course in linear algebra because they recognize the importance of the subject and the inadequacy of their first course in meeting the diverse needs of the students.
		Linear algebra provides a course that is full of ideas, with material that is rewarding to learn and to teach, and is a subject where both student and teacher can be challenged to their best performance.

	Linear Algebra.
		Linear algebra is a branch of algebra which deals with linear vector spaces, linear operators as well as linear, bilinear and quadratic functions.
		The results of linear algebra have found application in such diverse fields as optics, quantum mechanics, display addressing, electric circuits, cryptography, computer graphics, economics, linear programming, solution of systems of differential equations, etc. The manipulation of matrices and determinants plays a central role in all applications of linear algebra.
		The concept of the linear vector space took shape towards the end of the nineteenth century and has dominated developments in the field of linear algebra during the twentieth century.

		Linear algebra is most often combined with another subject, such as trigonometry, mathematical analysis, or precalculus.
		For example, the solution set of a single linear equation in two variables is interpreted as a line in the plane, and the solution set of a two-by-two system is interpreted as the intersection of a pair of lines in the plane.

	Linear Algebra
		In interpolation, the number of basis functions, n, is chosen to be equal to the number of data points, m, while for curve fitting n is typically much smaller than m.
		If the linear model is constructed so that it changes much more slowly than an interpolant, then curve fitting can be used as a noise filter.
		Now if y is not in the plane Ran(A), as is the case in Figure 1, the linear system (3) and the interpolation problem will not have a solution.
