A set of vectors containing more elements than the dimension of the space must be linearly dependent

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

Any list longer than $\dim V=n$ in a finite-dimensional space is dependent. An independent list can have at most $n$ entries. In coordinates, its matrix would have more than $n$ columns and hence a free variable in its homogeneous system.
