• Lecture 2: Echelon Form and Reduced Echelon Form
• Study Notes: More on Elementary Matrix Operations and Elementary Matrices
• Lecture 3: Gaussian Elimination
• Lecture 4: Vector Spaces
• Lecture 5: Subspaces
• Book (1.3) Exercise 20: If \(W\) is a subspace of a vector space \(V\) and \(w_1,...,w_n \in W\), then \(a_1w_1 + a_2w_2 + ... + a_nw_n \in W\) for any scalars \(a_1, a_2,...,a_n\).
• Lecture 6: Span of a Subset
• Book (1.4) Theorem 1.5: The span of any subset \(S\) of a vector space \(V\) is a subspace of \(V\) that contains \(S\). Moreover, any subspace of \(V\) that contains \(S\) must also contain the span of \(S\).
• Lecture 7/8: Linear Dependance
• Book (1.5) Theorem 1.7: If \(S\) is a linearly independent subset of \(V\) and \(v\) is a vector in \(V\) but not \(S\). Then \(S \cup \{v\}\) is linearly dependent only if \(v \in span(S)\).
• Book (1.5) Exercise 21
• Lecture 9: Basis Vectors and the Replacement Theorem
• Book (1.6) Theorem 1.9: If \(V\) has a finite generating set, then \(V\) has a finite basis.

• Book (1.6) Exercise 20
• Lecture 10: Linear Transformations
• Lecture 11/12: Null Space, Range, and Dimension Theorem
• Book (2.1) Theorem 2.2: If \(T\) is linear and \(\beta=\{v_1,...,v_n\}\) is basis for \(V\), then \(R(T) = span(T(\beta)) = span(\{T(v_1),...,T(v_n)\})\)
• External Exercise: Prove that if \(\dim(V) < \dim (W)\), then \(T\) cannot be onto.
• Lecture 12/13: Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations
• Lecture 14: Matrix Representation of Composition and Matrix Multiplication
• Lecture 15: Invertible Linear Transformations and Isomorphisms
• Book (2.4) Theorem 2.17 (Corollary): If \(T\) is invertible, then \(V\) is finite dimensional iff \(W\) is finite dimensional. In this case \(\dim V = \dim W\).
