In particular, the identity matrix serves as the unit of the ring of all nn matrices, and as the

identity element of the general linear group GL(n) consisting of all invertible nn matrices. (The
identity matrix itself is invertible, being its on inverse.)
!here nn matrices are used to represent linear transformations from an n"dimensional vector
space to itself, In represents the identity function, regardless of the basis.
The ith column of an identity matrix is the unit vector ei. It follos that the determinant of the
identity matrix is # and the trace is n.
