For a linear transformation, being an isomorphism means exactly being invertible. A linear transformation is invertible if and only if any matrix corresponding to it is invertible.

A matrix is invertible if and only if its determinant is not zero.

Therefore, a linear transformation is an isomorphism if and only if any matrix corresponding to it has non-zero determinant.
