Applications [edit]Linear independence As mentioned above‚ the determinant of a matrix (with real or complex entries‚ say) is zero if and only if the column vectors of the matrix are linearly dependent. Thus‚ determinants can be used to characterize linearly dependent vectors. For example‚ given two linearly independent vectors v1‚ v2 in R3‚ a third vector v3 lies in the plane spanned by the former two vectors exactly if the determinant of the 3 × 3 matrix consisting of the three vectors is zero.

The neurons send these electrochemical messages through neurotransmission. Electrical impulses traveling down the axon (body) of a neuron‚ instigates
