non-degenerate matrix

A square matrix with non-zero determinant. For a square matrix $A$ over a field, non-singularity is equivalent to each of the following conditions: 1) $A$ is invertible; 2) the rows (columns) of $A$ are linearly independent; or 3) $A$ can be brought by elementary row (column) transformations to the identity matrix.
