Nonsingular Matrix

 

in mathematics, a square matrix A = ǀǀaijǀǀ1n of order n whose determinant \A\ is nonzero. Every nonsingular matrix is invertible. A nonsingular matrix defines a nonsingular linear transformation in n-dimensional space. The passage from one coordinate system to another is also defined by a nonsingular matrix.
