The column space and the null space of a matrix are both subspaces, so they are both spans. The column space of a matrix A is defined to be the span of the columns of A.

In mathematics, and more specifically in linear algebra, a linear subspace or vector subspace[1][note 1] is a vector space that is a subset of some larger vector space. A linear …

This change in perspective is quite useful, as it is easy to produce subspaces that are not obviously spans. For example, the solution set of the equation is a span because the equation …

The definition of subspaces in linear algebra are presented along with examples and their detailed solutions.

Without seeing vector spaces and their subspaces, you haven’t understood everything about Av D b. Since this chapter goes a little deeper, it may seem a little harder. That is natural. We are …

Vector spaces may be formed from subsets of other vectors spaces. These are called subspaces. For each u and v are in H, u + v is in H. (In this case we say H is closed under vector addition.) …

Subspaces are structures that appear in many different subfields of linear algebra. For instance, they appear as solution sets of homogeneous systems of linear equations, and as ranges of …

As the activity shows, it is possible to represent some subspaces as the span of more than one set of vectors. We are particularly interested in representing a subspace as the span of a …

When referring to linear subspaces we will often just say ‘subspace’ for short. In order to determine whether a subset is a subspace, we must show that the subset satisfies all of the …
