Talk:Linear span

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I did a rewrite of the page and merged in material from linear combination. Linear span is important enough to deserve a page of its own and linear combination became to cluttered anyway.

I think the proofs should not be on this page but I did not have to courage to delete them. They are very simple and are probably done by every student taking a linear algebra course so they do not contain interesting information. But they could be put on a new page like Basics proofs in linear algebra to help a student get started in the field.

On a different note is it just me or are all the linear algebra articles in a very sorry state ? MathMartin 22:52, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Link at the bottom doesn't work

Just thought I'd point that out.

[edit] Finite Dimension?

Why do we need finite dimensions for a vector space to be spanned by a set? --130.83.219.136 09:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
