Subspaces of R^n
AMA1751 · Chapter overview
Develops span, independence, subspaces, bases, dimension, the fundamental matrix spaces, and rank.
Reviews vectors in R^n, vector addition, scalar multiplication, and their algebraic properties.
Determines whether vectors belong to a span and translates spanning questions into matrix equations.
Tests linear independence using homogeneous equations, pivots, and dependence relations.
Checks subspace conditions and writes concise closure proofs or counterexamples.
Interprets Nul A and Col A as subspaces and tests membership in each space.
Finds bases for null, column, and row spaces from row-reduction data.
Builds and reduces spanning sets, identifies bases, and applies dimension and basis theorems.
Connects row space, column space, pivots, rank, nullity, and the invertible matrix theorem.
Synthesizes A^T A, normal equations, projection matrices, and the decomposition between Col(A) and Nul(A^T).
