## Fundamental Theorem of Linear Maps
- T : V $\arrow$ W ; linear map in sense of set theory
- compatible with definitions of addition, scalar multiplicaton
- Define two subspaces with this linear map, one in V, one in W
- In V:
- define Null space in V: Null T
- subset of V: elements that T maps to 0
- $\{ v \in V\ \mid T(v) = 0_W\}$
- subset of V of v's; condition describing those elements
- here, the v's mapped to 0, the 0 in W
-
- Lemma 1: Null T is subspace of V:
- Proof: simple criterion: 3 conditions: 0, closed under addition; closed under scalar multiplication;
- T sends 0 of V to 0 of W
- v,w then sum T(v) + T(w); v,w in null space = 0 + 0
- prove
- Homeworks of last week
- 2C, 3A
- Example: **null space** ; R2 to R; (x,y) to x-y=0
- if equals 1, not subspace; does not contain 0
- affine space: translation down by 1; not subspace
- homogeneous
- Example: homework considered subspace U of P4 so all elements so D'' = 6 = 0
- Exercise
- from P4 to P'';
- interpret as null space over linear map; from P4 to P2 at point 6
- evaluate sum at point 6 is sum of values
- derivative followed by derivative followed by evaluation at 6 is composition of 3 linear maps
- null space is U; those polynomials that T takes to 0; not 0, not all things
- dimension of null space is 4, one less than 5
- take P(x) to x P(x); those that multiplied by x go to 0; so is 0 polynomial; as small as possible
- other HW last week
- Example: T of P(F) polynomials of all degrees;
- product of two functions that is 0
- Def: second subspace: first subset of W, then show it's a subspace: **Range**, is subset of W that are TV for some v in V:
- image
- Lemma 2: range is subspace of V
- 0 in range? yes, 0 of V is mapped to 0 of W
- Ideas from Set theory, not linear algebra;
- two sets, map between, see image as subset;
- could be element z; preimage is in S1 that maps to z
- injective map or 1-1; not good; use injective; 1-1 map not same as 1-1 correspondence
- If f y1
- surjective: all in W
- injective and surjective is bijective
- check that Linear map is injective
- check that linear map is surjective and injective using ideas of null space and range
- Lemma 3: injective if and only if null space consists of {0}
- Lemma 4: surjective if range is all of W
- Th: Suppose V is fin dim VS over F; and T: V - W; then Dim V = Dim null of T + dim range of T
- How would we prove ?: 53:00:
- Start with basis of the null space, which is a subspace of V
- What is the basis of a zero vector space?
- Empty set is the basis of the zero set
- Extend basis of null space to basis of entire space V

at end deal with Null T is {0}
the notion of a basis includes two properties: LI, spanning
huge improvement with finite dim V,, know a priori what the dimension is
checking LI is easier; but if know dimension, don't need to prove other
how do you know dimension
p we know
consider P 4;
