- Linear independence — two or more vectors are linearly independent if there is no way to construct one from linear combinations of the others.
- Matrix exponential — defined by the exponential series.
- Matrix representation of conic sections
- Pseudoinverse — a generalization of the inverse matrix.
- Quaternionic matrix - matrix using quaternions as numbers
- Row echelon form — a matrix in this form is the result of applying the forward elimination procedure to a matrix (as used in Gaussian elimination).
- Wronskian — the determinant of a matrix of functions and their derivatives such that row n is the (n-1)th derivative of row one.

Famous quotes containing the words terms and/or definitions:
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The loosening, for some people, of rigid role definitions for men and women has shown that dads can be great at calming babies—if they take the time and make the effort to learn how. It’s that time and effort that not only teaches the dad how to calm the babies, but also turns him into a parent, just as the time and effort the mother puts into the babies turns her into a parent.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
