Linear Independence & Basis

Geometry and algebra of linear maps, vectors, and matrices

A set of vectors is linearly independent when no one of them is a combination of the others. Each pulls in a genuinely new direction, none is redundant. If you can write one as a combination of the rest, the set is dependent and contains slack.
