consider the set
which is a standard basis of the vector space 
also the dimension of this set is 2
also the dimension of this set is 2
when put in a matrix, a standard basis forms an identity matrix
consider the set
which is a standard basis of the vector space 
we put the vectors in a matrix:
which is an identity matrix of the 3rd degree

we put the vectors in a matrix:
when we multiply a matrix
by the
th vector of the standard basis the result is the
th column of
. i.e.,
.
