01 A vector space over an infinite field can't be expressed as a finite union of

proper subspaces.
Proof:

02 Let E be an extension field of F and A and B be nxn matrices over F. If F is
infinite and A and B are sim
ilar over E, then A and B are similar over F.
(Note: This statement also holds for a finite field F, where the proof is more
complicated.)
