Line 66:
The product of two upper triangular matrices is upper triangular, so the set of upper triangular matrices forms an [[associative algebra|algebra]]. Algebras of upper triangular matrices have a natural generalization in [[functional analysis]] which yields [[nest algebra]]s on [[Hilbert space]]s.
 
The set of invertible triangular matrices form a [[group (mathematics)|group]]. It is a subgroup of all invertible matrices, and is calledan theexample of a [[parabolic subgroup|parabolic]] or [[Borel subgroup]].
