do you know linear algebra ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vector space = set of vectors that satisfy certain conditions. eg : R^3 basis = smallest set of vectors that can generate a vector space by linear combination eg: {(1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1)} dimension = number of vectors in basis eg: 3 vectors in the example, so dimension = 3 vector space and basis's definition should be more rigorous than stated, but it gives you the feeling what it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is how I understand basis & dimension: Basis vectors must be independent vectors and if so then the dimension of the matrix containing the vectors is = # of basis. Ex. if A is a 3x3 identity matrix, then the following is true: basis of A = dim(C(A)) = rank(A) = 3
