    Study Notes

    Vector Space Basics

    • A set V consists of a collection of objects, known as vectors.
    • Operations on set V include "o-plus" (addition) and "o-dot" (multiplication).
    • Closure conditions ensure that operations produce results within set V and allow for linear combinations.

    Axioms of Vector Spaces

    • A vector space is nonempty and closed under "o-plus" and "o-dot," satisfying axioms A1 to A8 for all x, y, z in V and real numbers alpha, beta.
    • Axiom 1: "o-plus" is commutative.
    • Axiom 2: "o-plus" is associative.
    • Axiom 3: There is a unique zero vector neutral for "o-plus."
    • Axiom 4: Each vector x has a unique additive inverse -x.
    • Axiom 5: "o-dot" is associative.
    • Axiom 6: Distributivity of "o-dot" with respect to the sum of scalars holds.
    • Axiom 7: Distributivity of multiplication with respect to "o-plus."
    • Axiom 8: One is the neutral element for "o-dot," akin to the multiplicative identity.

    Subspaces and Span

    • A subset S of V is a subspace if it is closed under "o-plus" and "o-dot," also containing the zero vector.
    • The span of a set of vectors is the smallest subspace containing all linear combinations of those vectors.
    • If the span of vectors equals V, they form a spanning set for V.

    Linear Independence and Dependence

    • Vectors are linearly independent if the equation for their linear combination results only in the trivial solution.
    • A single non-zero vector is always linearly independent, while a set containing the zero vector is linearly dependent.
    • For two vectors, if one is a scalar multiple of the other, they are linearly dependent.

    Basis and Dimension

    • A basis is a minimal spanning set of linearly independent vectors, uniquely defining the vector space.
    • The dimension of a vector space is the number of vectors in any basis for that space.
    • For finite-dimensional spaces, all bases have the same number of vectors.

    Transition and Transformation

    • Transition matrices relate different bases, calculated by multiplying inverse matrices.
    • Linear transformations preserve the operations of addition and scalar multiplication.
    • To verify linearity, ensure the zero vector maps correctly and check if linear combinations maintain linearity.

    Matrix Properties

    • A matrix is invertible if its determinant is not zero.
    • Certain transformations, like rotations and reflections, are always invertible, while projections are not.
    • The kernel of a transformation corresponds to the nullspace of a matrix, and the range corresponds to the column space.

    Special Cases

    • In R3, the standard basis consists of unit vectors along coordinate axes.
    • The trace of a matrix is obtained by summing diagonal elements.
    • For any linear system Ax = b to be consistent, b must reside in the column space of A.

    Summary of Key Definitions

    • Nullspace: Set of solutions for the homogeneous equation Ax = 0.
    • Rank: Number of leading ones in the row echelon form of a matrix.
    • The equation relating columns of A includes the rank and nullity as variables balancing the total columns.
