| | Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | When we want to describe the matrix of a linear transformation and in some other situations, it is convenient to list the basis vectors in a specific order. |
 | | We then speak of an ordered basis, which we define to be a sequence (rather than a set) of linearly independent vectors that span V. |
 | | Since the above matrix has a nonzero determinant, its columns form a basis of R |
