https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange%20matrix
In mathematics, especially linear algebra, the exchange matrices (also called the reversal matrix, backward identity, or standard involutory permutation) are special cases of permutation matrices, where the 1 elements reside on the antidiagonal and all other elements are zero. In other words, they are 'row-reversed' or...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rank%20%28differential%20topology%29
In mathematics, the rank of a differentiable map between differentiable manifolds at a point is the rank of the derivative of at . Recall that the derivative of at is a linear map from the tangent space at p to the tangent space at f(p). As a linear map between vector spaces it has a well-defined rank, which is j...
