The determinant of a matrix is how much the matrix expands or contracts space. More precisely: it's the volume of the parallelepiped spanned by the columns of the matrix. (Ditto the rows.) This, btw, is why det 0 => non-invertible: one or more spatial dimensions has collapsedhttps://twitter.com/ZachWeiner/status/1073671743846395905 …

Sure - a good example would be learning about Hilbert spaces. The primitive object is a vector space, which we extend to be complete and have norms (making it a Banach space), and also have a dot product (giving us the full definition of a Hilbert space)
