An especially useful way of describing the solution space of a homogeneous linear system is to list explicitly a set S of solution vectors such that every solution vector is a unique linear combination of these particular ones. The following definition specifies the properties of such a set S of “basic” solution vectors, and the concept is equally important for vector spaces other than solution spaces.
In short, a basis for the vector space V is a linearly independent spanning set of vectors in V. Thus, if is a ...
