Study Notes

Rank of a Matrix in Linear Algebra

The rank of a matrix A is the dimension of the vector space spanned by its columns.
It is also the maximal number of linearly independent columns of A.
The rank is equivalent to the dimension of the vector space spanned by the rows of A.
Rank measures the "nondegenerateness" of the system of linear equations and linear transformation represented by A.
There are multiple definitions of rank, but they are all equivalent.
Rank is a fundamental characteristic of a matrix.
It is commonly denoted as rank(A) or rk(A).
The column rank of A is the dimension of the column space of A.
The row rank of A is the dimension of the row space of A.
The column rank and the row rank are equal.
The rank of a matrix provides important information about its properties and solutions to linear equations.
Alternative definitions of rank exist, which can be explored for further understanding.
