About order of Base of free abelian group

29 Views Asked by At

I am not sure about the connection between order of a base of free abelian group, to the order of the minimal generator set which generates the group.
I would like to inherit the conclusion from linear algabra, says that a base holds the minimal order of vectors, in order to generate a space. However, I can't find a good reason to demand the same fact about free abelian groups.
