Abstract. We define a square matrix to be fundamental if it is symmetric and all its principal submatrices have positive determinants. Let f be a bilinear form on finite-dimensional vector space over the real field which corresponds to a matrix G. We prove that f is an inner-product if and only if G is fundamental.
