Between finite-dimensional spaces an injective linear map cannot lower and a surjective one cannot raise the dimension, under equal dimensions injective, surjective and bijective coincide, two spaces are isomorphic exactly when their dimensions agree, and an operator is invertible exactly when its kernel is trivial or its image is everything.
In the setting of Linear Algebra: Standing Notation, let be a field and let and be finite-dimensional vector spaces over .
Injective maps. If is an injective linear map from to , then .
Surjective maps. If is a surjective linear map from to , then .
