37.2.2 Linear Combinations and a Basis

Core idea

A few basic arrows build the whole space, and any vector can be written as their linear combination Σcᵢvᵢ.

Module goal. Express direction and transformation with vectors and matrices, understand linear transformations, determinants, and solving systems of equations, and lay the groundwork for higher dimensions and abstract structures.
