  • Actually I think row rank and column rank are formal names for those things. "Rank" refers to the dimension of the column space, which I'm not sure what's the name of the dimension of the row space.

  • He is showing that the row rank is equal to the column rank.

  • But he is supposing that col rank is equal to row rank, and that is not obvious. Right?

  • its remarkable, you can say more in 10 minutes than professors at universities(i.e. MIT) can say in an hour!

  • apologies, i meant

    minrank(Null(A))=60, minrank(Null(A^T))=0 and rank(Null(A^T))=2.

  • ex: A is rectangular 100-by-40. 100 row-vectors can span 40-dimensional space at max. (maxrank(C(A^T))=40). AT LEAST 60 row-vectors are linearly dependent and do NOT have pivots in rref(A) (minrank(Null(A^T))=60).

    40 column-vectors in 100 dimensions span at MAX 40-dimensional subspace as well (maxrank(C(A))=40,minrank(Null­(A))=0). suppose it turns out rank(C(A))=38 < maxrank(C(A))=40, implies rank(Null(A))=2. implies 2 columns with no pivots in rref(A), which means 2 extra rows with no pivots.

  • thanks--somewhat unclear in that pivot columns will have a single nonzero pivot entry=1, but pivot rows will have additional non zero entries. this should not effect the linear independence of pivot rows, but i wish you had touched on this--of course i may have it wrong

  • Hello, I am a student studying the educational value of youtube. I would love to get your feedback via a very short survey (will take less than 2 min). You can find a link to the survey from my youtube profile. Thanks.
