1. SUBSPACES
- Subspace Test: 0 ∈ W; closed under addition and scalar multiplication
- Span = all linear combinations
- Linear independence: c■v■ + ... + c■v■ = 0 ⇒ all c■ = 0
3. KEY THEOREMS
- Rank–Nullity: rank(A) + nullity(A) = n
- Invertible Matrix Theorem (for square A): all ⇔
- A invertible
- det(A) ≠ 0
- rank(A) = n
- null(A) = {0}
- Ax = b has unique sol ∀ b
4. DETERMINANTS
- det(A) = 0 ⇒ A not invertible
- det from cofactor expansion: along row i:
det(A) = ∑ a■■ (−1)■■■ det(M■■)
- Row swap → sign flip; zero row → det = 0
6. DIAGONALIZATION
- A = P D P■¹ if A has n independent eigenvectors
- D: diag matrix of eigenvalues; P: cols = eigenvectors
