Basis and Dimension

Now we know about vector spaces, so it's time to learn how to form something called a basis for that vector space. This is a set of linearly independent vectors that can be used as building blocks to make any other vector in the space. Let's take a closer look at this, as well as the dimension of a vector space, and what that means.

    I have a sweet information When n (number of columns) is not equal to m (number of rows) then the set is always not a basis (if the question ask if a specific set of vectors is a basis or not) but when n = m, then you have two possibilities depending on the det(A), in other words: det(A) is equal to 0 ==> the set is not a basis det(A) isn't equal to 0 ==> the set is a basis

The less you know, the more they know, and people with big egos want to have "specialized" knowledge that is not accessible to others. Write a book nobody understands, and claim yourself a genius.

    If they are linearly independent, it means there are no linear combinations among the vectors. So, how can a basis have two conditions where (1) they are linearly independent and (2) they span the vector space V (by a linear combination of the vectors), don't the conditions contradict each other? Please clarify, and let me know if I'm missing something here.
