With the usual operations of addition and scalar multiplication the set of all nxn matrices of real numbers is a vector space: in particular, all the vector space axioms (see 5.1.1 (1)- (10)) are satisfied. Explain clearly why the set of all nonsingular n x n matrices of real numbers is not a vector space under these same operations.
