Vector spaces
A vector space is a collection of vectors relative a basis whe-
re certain operations on them are defined. A basis is a set of
linear independent vectors from the space. In an orthogonal
basis the vectors are mutualy orthogonal (inner product
equals zero).
Basis?
This routine examines whether a set of vectors in the space
is linear independent. The vectors are put into the matrix wri-
ter as rows and the output is logic 0 or 1.
