- On an interval I, for f continuous on I and differentiable at every interior point: f' ≥ 0 throughout gives f nondecreasing, f' > 0 gives f increasing, f' ≤ 0 and f' < 0 give the two decreasing forms; conversely a nondecreasing f has f' ≥ 0 and a nonincreasing f has f' ≤ 0 wherever it is differentiable, and no strict converse is claimed

- Row rank equals column rank, and both equal the number of pivots
- If dim_F V = n and U is a linear subspace of V, then U is finite-dimensional, dim_F U ≤ n, and dim_F U = n if and only if U = V
- The standard list e : n → Fⁿ with eᵢ(i) = 1_F and eᵢ(j) = 0_F for j ≠ i is an ordered basis of Fⁿ; hence dim_F Fⁿ = n, and F⁰ is the zero space with basis ∅ and dimension 0
