@@lokahit6940 Because each vector in the column space has m components. Yes, there are n vectors, but the number of components of a vector describes the dimensions of space its in. This is different once you get to a basis, where the number of vectors describe its dimension, but even that is a subspace of R^(# of components). So a two-vector basis where each vector has 5 components is a 2d subspace in R^5.

Conclusion: Four fundamental subspaces of A(m*n), including 1. The column space means spanning the column vectors, which is in R to m, notation as C(A) 2. The nullspace of A means the free variables corresponding vector span the null space, which is in R to n, notation as N(A) 3. The row space means spanning the row vectors, which is in R to n, notation as C(A') equal to n-r 4. The left nullspace of A means the A' free variables corresponding vector span the null space, which is in R to m, notation as N(A') equal to m-r. other conclusions: The sum of dim(C(A')) and N(A) is equal to n, the sum of dim(C(A)) and N(A') is equal to m.

The mistake professor Strang made turned into a great connection to the new topic. That's why he is a genius

At t = 38:00, Strang shows a way that expedites finding L: find E, then solve [E| I | to get E inverse which = L. Now we can quickly decompose A into LU if we do Gaussian elimination only--not Gauss-Jordan elimination--from the beginning. At t = 43:00, he defines a vector space out of 3x3 matrices, call it M_33. At t = 47:00, he covers the dimensions of subspaces of M.

Oh cool. I've never computer the nullspace of the row space before. Initially, I thought of computer the nullspace of the columnspace of the transpose, but the method he provides - calculating E - is so easy, once you've already done all the work computing the other subspaces.

I was nodding my head, keeping up just swimmingly, it all made perfect sense. He wrapped up the diagram and it seemed like we were done. Then he stepped over to the far board and replaced vectors with matrices and just turned everything upside down. Didn't see that coming.

I believe Prof. Strang deliberately made the mistake at the end of Lec 9, in order to transition the focus from column space to row space. The transition was too smooth for this to be an accident. This is also a great show of humility that he didn't mind being perceived making a mistake!

Worth mentioning: if row-reduction of the matrix generates the most natural row space basis without much effort, we can also generate the most natural basis of the column space of said matrix by doing row-reduction on the transpose of the matrix. This is all so incredibly fascinating!

Great lectures on linear algebra!

Thanx a lot Mr.Strang and MIT

26:15 here can we take basis as first r rows of A also , iff our elimination doesn't involve any row exchanges?

25:06 So performing row eliminations doesn't change the row space but changes the column space? So to get the basis for the column space, would you have to do column elimination for matrix [A]? Or could you take the transpose, do row elimination, and just use that row basis for [A] transpose as the column basis for [A]?

My mind got blown when I realized you could get the basis for the left null space from row transformation. I mean, it seems completely obvious after he points it out but I never thought much of it until then.

Just when I thought he ran out of blackboard to write he moves to the right and lo and behold there's more of them

He is lecturing to an empty classroom if you look at time 40'53'' !! Even more wonders!

Just beautiful

May I say that the vectors in R span the same space as vectors in A after row operation because you can do a reverse ROW operation and construct the same vectors in A from R? It can't be true for column space because after row operations you most likely can't reverse and reconstruct the original column vectors from R through COLUMN combinations.

he is so dam good at explaning! I love him!!!!!!!!!!!

min 18:50 If it's helpful for anybody: the dimension of the null space is the same as the number of basis vectors that form the null space. Just like the dimension of a column space (or rank) is the number of linearly independent columns (i.e. vectors within the matrix), in the case of the null space, its dimension is the number of linearly independent columns, i.e. the number of basis vectors that form the null space.

The way to find _left null space_ opened my mind !

*Question:* what is the relationship between rank(A) and rank(A^T)? Does rank(A) = rank(A^T) in general? The professor seems to be hinting at this, but rref(A) only preserves the column space, so it doesn’t seem so trivial to me. Any insight is highly appreciated. Edit: I found the answer. rank(A) = rank(A^T) by virtue of the fact that linear independence of the columns implies linear independence of the rows, even for non-square matrices. I proved this for myself this evening. The main idea for the proof (at least how I did it) is that if you have two linearly dependent rows, one above the other say, row reduction kills the lower one (reduces number of possibly independent rows). Killing off the row (making the row all zeros) also makes it so that the given row can’t have a pivot. Thus, we’ve reduced the number of potential pivot columns by one. That’s the relationship in a nutshell. The math is only slightly more involved

@ostrodmit

Жыл бұрын

rref(A) does not preserve the column space, only the null and row spaces. It does preserve the dim(Row(A)) however, which suffices to prove that the row and column ranks are equal.

That's fine. All at once doesn't matter. What matters is "forever and always". Do what you must to understand it deeply so that you will know it the rest of your life. It may take watching the video many times and will probably require writing down some matrices and doing them yourself. Math is a subject which is hard to learn by observation; it really depends on participation. Remember, the students in the audience were MIT students, so they had proven they were quite talented. Those students saw what you saw in the video. Those students had the ability to talk to this professor after class. Those students had homework practice. Still, when the quiz was administered, I guarantee the average score was below 100%. Even after all that help, some students didn't quite get it all. They didn't get it "all at once". How can you expect yourself to do better than that, especially if you demand it happen "all at once"?
