The '''general linear group''' over a field <math>X \ </math>, written <math>\mathbb{GL}(X,n) \ </math> is the set of all <math>n \cross n \ </math> matrices with elements from the field <math>X \ </math>, under the operation of matrix multiplication.

The '''special linear group''' is the subgroup of the general linear group consisting of matrices with determinant 1.
