Why an induction proof reaches every integer

Induction when multiplication has an order

Complex arithmetic and the real-coefficient condition

Arguments, quadrants and geometric conditions

Powers, roots and regular polygons

Composition order and fixed geometry
![Matrix A=[[2,1],[1,1]] maps basis vectors to (2,1) and (1,1), forming a determinant-one parallelogram. Singular B=[[1,3],[2,6]] maps onto y=2x; (4,8) is reachable with infinitely many inputs and (4,9) is not. Separate axes are illustrative, not a physical equal-scale measurement.](/assets/lesson-further-maths-determinant-inverse-v1.webp)
Area, orientation and when inversion fails

Three planes: a point, a line or no meeting
