Linear Independence
Learn about linear independence and methods to quickly check if a set is linearly independent.
What is linear independence?
Assume that we have a beautiful blue toy car with a plastic body and rubber tires. We may say that the toy car is constructed using some ratio of plastic to rubber. In other words, the material of the toy car is a linear combination of these. Moreover, we can say that the toy car is dependent on plastic and rubber, whereas it’s independent of wood because wood isn’t used in its construction.
