1) For zero number 0, 0.A is the zero matrix: 0A = 0.
2) k.A = 0 iff k=0 or A=0.

 

Proof. 1) Let A = aij , we have 0.A = 0.aij = 0 .
Thus, 0A is the zero matrix
 
2) Assume that k.A = 0. So for A = aij we have k.aij =0 for
all i,j. If k  0 then aij = 0 and A is the zero matrix. Theorem is proved. 

1.2.3 Matrix multiplication
Matrix multiplication is a little more
complicated
than matrix
addition or scalar multiplication, but it is well worth the extra effort.
Definition 7
If A =

Note that to obtain cij we need use row i of matrix A and column j of
matrix B.

a)Product AB exists if and onlly if the number of columns of A is
equal to the number of rows of B.

An identity matrix E is a diagonal matrix in which every diagonal
element is 1. If the size of E is nn then E is said to be the identity matrix of
order n.
Warning

product may change ( or may not exist ).

Theorem 1
Suppose A, B are square matrices with the same degree .
1) If A is invertible then A -1 is invertible and ( A -1)-1 = A,
2) If A, B are invertible then AB is invetible and ( AB )-1 = B-1 A-1
3) Inverse matrix of identity matrix E is E.
Proof. 1) , 3 ) are easy to see from the definition,
2) ( AB )( B -1A-1) = A (BB -1)A -1 = A (EA -1) = AA -1 = E.
analogously, ( B -1A-1)(AB) = E. Thus B -1A-1 = (AB)-1
The theorem is proved .

Matrix A is invertible if and only if det (A )  0 .
Proof. Necessary : If A is invertible then A.A -1 = E . It follows
16
det(A) .det( A -1) = det( E ) = 1 and det(A )  0.
Sufficient :
 
Let A = aij and det(A)  0. For a ij , the algebraic
 
complement is A ij . Denote C = Aij and A * = C t . We can see A -1 =

A*
det(A)
3.1.3 Method of finding inverse matrice s.
a)Using algebraic complements
From the proof of the theorem 2, we can find the inverse matrix of A as
follows.
Step 1 Compute det( A ). If det(A)  0 then there exists A -1.

Step 2 Compute comlement A ij, Write C = Aij , A* = C t ( transpose of C ).

b)Method of elemetary operations
Three elementary operations on rows of a matrix are:
1. Interchane two rows
2. Multiply one row by a nonzero number,
3. Add a multiple of a row to a different row.
By using above operations one can obtain the inserve matrix of A as
follows
Let A be invertible .Denote A the matrix of size n2n obtained by
putting the identity matrix E near A :
A = [ A  E ] . Use the above
operations on rows of A such that carry A to the identity matrix E, then E
becomes A -1 :
A = [ A  E ]  [ E  A-1]

3.2. Rank of a matrix
3.2.1 Definitions and examples
Definition 2
Given a matrix A of size mn. A subdeterminant of degree k of A is the
determinant of a matrix of order k obtained from A by deleting ( m- k) rows
and ( n-k) columns .
Definition 3
The largest degree of nonzero subdeterminants of matrix A is said to be
the rank of A and denoted by rank(A) or r(A).
Thus, rank(A) = r if and only if there is a nonzero subdeterminant of
degre r and every subdeterminant of degree larger than r is zero.
Note that if size of A is mn , rank(A)  min{m,n}

3.2.2 Echelon matrices.
Definition 4
A matrix is said to be echelon if it satisfies the following conditions
1) All zero rows are at the bottom,
2) The first nonzero element from the left in each nozero row is to
the right of the first nonzero element of the above row.
Example 5

row ( bottom ). The first nonzero element of row 3 is number 8 being to the
right of number 3 which is the first nonzero element of row 2. Number 3 is
to the right of number 9 being the first nonzero element of row 1.
Remark
Rank of an echelon matrix is equal to the number of nonzoro rows
In Example 5 rank(A) = 3
Theorem 3
The rank of a matrix is not exchanged if apply elementary operations
20
3.2.3 Method of finding the rank of a matrix .
In several cases , using definition to compute is very difficult because
we have to compute many subdeterminants of the matrix. We often apply
Theorem 3 to translate a matrix to an echelon matrix then obtain the rank.
We recall elementary operations:
1. Interchange two rows
2. Multiply one row by a nonzero number,
3. Add a multiple of a row to a different row.

The given system is equivalent to the system with the augmented
matrix A ’. If r = rank( A)  rank( A ) = r+1 then b’r+1 0 .
Then the
(r+1)th equation of the new system has no solution. Thus the system has
no solution as the given system .
If r = rank( A ) = rank( A ) then b’r+1 = 0.
In the new system we can solve
r variables ( corresponding to the first
nonzero elements on rows of A ’ ) dependent on ( n –r ) remain
variables.Thus system has at least one solution. Theorem is proved. 
By the Theorem 1 we have conclusions:
a) If rank( A )  rank( A ) , system has no solution
b) If
rank( A ) = rank( A ) = n ( number of variables ), system has
an unique solution.
c) If rank( A ) = rank( A ) = r  n, System has an infinite number
of solutions dependent on ( n- r) parameters.

From the proof of Theorem 1 we can receive a method of solving the
system (2.1) as follows
Step1. Write the augment matrix A of the system
28
Step 2. Apply elementary operations on rows of A to lead
A to an
echelon matrix A ’.
Step 3. Compute rank(A ); rank( A )
 If rank( A )  rank( A ), the system has no solution

If rank(A) = rank( A ) = r , write the system corresponding to
the matrix A ’, continue step 4.
Step 4. Stand r variables corresponding to the first nonzero elements
on rows of A ’ and consider ather variables as parameters. Solve r
variables on parameters.

VECTOR SPACES
1. Definitions and simple properties
of vector spaces
1.1. Basic concepts, examples.
Definition 1
Let K be a field (of real numbers R or complex numbers C ) . A vector
space on K consists of a nonempty set V of elements
( called vectors )that can be added , that can be multiplied by a number in K
( called scalar ) and for which certain axioms hold. For vectors x, y in V their
sum x + y is a vector in V and scalar product of a vector x by number k  K
denoted as kx such that the following axioms are assumed hold.
A1.
A2 .
A3 .
x + y = y + x , for every x, y in V
( x+ y ) =z = x + ( y + z ), for x, y , z in V
There exists an element  ( called zero vector ) in V such
 + x = x +  = x for all x in V.
that
A4.
For each vector x there exists a vec tor (-x) such that
x + (-x) = (-x) + x =  .
A5.
k( x + y ) = kx + ky for all x, y in V, k in K
A6 .
( k1 + k2 ) x = k1x + k2x for all k1, k2 in K , x in V.
31
A7.
(k1.k2)x = k1(k2.x)
for k1, k2 in K, x in V
A8.
1.x = x , for x in V.
The vector –x in axiom A 4 is called the negative vector of x. If K is the
field R of real numbers then V is called a real vector space . If K = C of
complex numbers then V is called a complex vector space.
In this lecture we consider real spaces if nothing added. All results can
be applied for the complex case.
Example1
Show that the set V of vectors in the space with the vector addition and
scalar multiplication defined as in Geometry is a real vector space.
Solution. It is easy to check all axioms are satisfied.
Example 2
Consider R n = { (x1, x2, …, xn )  xi R , i =1, …, n}.
For x =(x 1, x2, …, xn ) ; y =(y 1, y2, …, yn ), kR
Put x + y := (x 1 + y1, x2 + y2, …, xn + yn );
kx : = (kx 1, kx2, …, kxn ) .
Then R n
is a real vector space. The zero vector is  = ( 0, …, 0 ).
The negative vector (–x) of x is as (- x1, - x2, …, -xn ).
Example 3
Denote by P[x] the set of all polynomials of real coefficients with
polynomial addition and multiplication by real numbers. Then P[x] is a real
vector space .
Example 4
Denote by Pn[x] the set of
degree
equal to or less
polynomials of real coefficients and with
than n. With the addition of polynomials and
multiplication of a polynomial by a number , P n[x] is a real vector space.
32
Example 5
C n = { (x 1, x2, …, xn ) xi  C, i = 1, … , n } is a complex vector space
using addition and scalar mutiplication similar to operations in Example 2.
Example 6
The set Mmn of real matrices of size mn is a vector space using
matrix addition and scalar multiplication.
Example 7
The set F[a,b] of all functions on the interval [a,b] is a vector space if
pointwise addition and scalar multiplication of functions are used. The zero
vector is the function  defined by
 (x) = 0 for all x in [a, b].
The negative vector of vector f is the function (-f) defined by
( -f) (x) = - f(x) for all x in [a, b].
Example 8
The set C[a, b] of all continuous functions on [a, b] is a vector space
using operations as in Example 7.
1.2. Simple properties.
One often consider real vector spaces. From now vector spaces are real
if nothing added.
Theorem1
1) Let x, y, z be vectors in vector space V.
If x + z = y + z then
x = y.
2) The zero vector of a vector space is unique.
33
Proof. 1) Let x + z = y + z . Add to both sides the vector ( -z ):
( x + z) + (-z) = (y + z ) + (-z)  x+( z +(-z) ) = y + ( z + ( -z ))
 x+ =y+ 
2). If

x = y.
 ,  ’ are zeros then
 + ’ =  ’
 =  +  ’ ( because  ’ is zero ) and
  = ’.
The proof is completed. 
Theorem 2 .
Let v be an vector in a vector space V, k be a real number,  the zero
vector of V. Following properties hold.
Proof.
1)
0.v =  ,
2)
k.  =  ,
3)
If kv =  then either k = 0 or v =  ,
4)
(-1) v = - v,
5)
(-k) v = k(-v) = -kv.
1) 1v +0v = (1+0)v = 1v +   0v =  .
2)
k  = k(0v) =( k.0)v = 0v =  .
3)
Assume that kv =  . If k  0 then multiplying both sides of
the equality by k-1 we have (k-1k)v = k-1  . It follows 1v = 
and hence v =  .
4)
5)
( -1) v + 1v = ( -1 +1 ) v = 0 v =  . Thus
(-1) v = - v.
(-k) v = (-1) (kv) = - ( kv ). On the other hand
(-k)v = (k(-1)) v = k ( -1v) = k (- v). Propertiy 5) is proved.
The proof is completed. 

2. Subspaces and spanning sets
2.1. Subspaces
Definition1
Given a vector space V.
A nonempty subset U of V is called a
subspace of the vector space V if U is itself a vector space where U uses the
vector addition and scalar multiplication of V.
Note that if U is a subspace of V, it is clear that the sum of two vectors
in U is a vector again in U and that any scalar multiple of a vector in U is
again in U . In short, that U is closed under the vector addition and scalar
multiplication .The nice part is that the converse is true . If U is closed
under the vector addition and scalar multiplication then U is a subspace of V.
Theorem 1
Let U be a nonempty subset of a vector space V. Then U is a subspace
of V if and only if it satisfies the following conditions:
1). If u1, u2 lie in U then u1+ u2 lies in U.
2). If u lies in U, then ku lies in U for all k in R .
Proof. If U is a subspace then the above conditions are satisfied.
Assume that
the above conditions are satisfied. We will prove
axioms of a vector space.
A 1)
The equality u 1+ u2
=
u2 + u1 holds for all u1, u2 in U because this
holds for all u1, u2 in V.
A 2)
(u1 + u2 ) +u3 = u1 + ( u2 + u3 ) holds for all u 1, u2, u3 in U because
this equality holds for all u 1, u2, u3 in V.
A 3). take u in U , 0 in R then 0.u =  lies in U and  + v = v+  = v for
all v in U.
35
A 4). For u  U, (-1)u = - u  U satisfies u+(-u) = (-u) + u =  .
Axioms A 5,A6, A 7, A 8 are obtained analogously.
Thus U is a vector space and hence is a subspace of V.
Example1
If V is a vector space , then U = {  } is a subspace of V and V is a
subspace of V. They are called trivial suspaces of V.
Example 2
Show that U ={ (x 1, x2, 0 ) x1, x2  R } is a subspace of R 3.
Solution. For x =(x 1, x2, 0 ) , y =(y 1, y2, 0 ) in U we have
x + y = (x1 + y1 , x2 + y2 , 0 ) lies in U and
kx = (kx 1, kx2, k.0 ) also lies
in U. By Theorem1, U is a subspace of R 3.
Example 3
Show that the set U ={ (x 1, x2 , x3 )  R 3  x3 = x1 + 2x2 } is a subspace
of R 3.
Solution. If x = ( x 1, x2, x3 )  U, y = (y1, y2 , y3 ) U then
x3 = x1 + 2x2
and y 3 = y1 + 2y 2. It follows x 3 + y3 = (x1 + y1 ) + 2(x 2 + y2 ).
Hence x + y = ( x 1 + y1 , x2 + y2 , x3 + y3 ) is in U.
If x =( x 1, x2, x3 )  U, k R then kx = ( kx1, kx2 , kx3 ) and
kx3 = kx 1 + 2kx2. Hence kx lies in U. Thus, U is a subspace of R 3.
Example 4
Let Pn[x] be the set of polynomials of degree equal or less than n.
Prove that the set U = { p(x)  Pn[x]  p(3) = 0 } is a subspace of Pn[x].

2.2. Spanning sets, linear combinations
Definition 2
Let { v 1 , v2 , … vn } be a system of vectors in a vector space V. A
vector v is called a linear combination of the system if it can be expressed in
the form :
v = k1.v1 + k2 v2 + …+ knvn
where k1 , … , kn are scalars called
coefficients of v 1, …, vn .
Example 5
In R 3 given vectors v 1 =( 1, 1, 0 ), v 2 = ( 0, 1, 1 ) . For k1, k2 in R the
vector v = k1v1 + k2v2 = ( k1, k1 + k2 , k2 ) is a linear combination of v 1, v2.
In case k1 = 1, k2 =2, v = ( 1 , 3, 2 ) is a linear combination of vectors v 1, v2.
Denote by Span{v1,…, vn } the set of all linear combinations of vectors
v1, …, vn. We have the following theorem
Theorem 2
For vectors v 1, …, vn in a vector space V, Span{v1,…, vn } is a
subspace of the vector space V.
Proof. If x Span{v1,…, vn } , y Span{v1,…, vn } then
x = x 1v1 + … xnvn, y = y 1v1 + … + ynvn.
It follows that x + y = ( x 1 +y1 )v1 +… +( xn+yn )vn is in Span{v1,…, vn }
and kx = k (x 1v1 + … xnvn ) = kx 1v1 + … + kxnvn is in Span{v1,…, vn } . So ,
Span{v1,…, vn } is a subspace of V by Theorem1.
37
Definition 3
W =Span{v1,…, vn } is called the subspace spaned by v 1, … vn and the
system {v1,…, vn } is called a spanning set of W.
Example 6
In Rn consider the system { e1,…, en } where e1 = ( 1, 0, … , 0 );
e2 = ( 0, 1, …,0); …; en = ( 0, …, 1). Then each x = (x1, … , xn ) can be
expessed as
x = x1e1 +x2e2 +… + xnen , hence x  Span{v1,…, vn }.
Thus R n = Span{v1,…, vn }.
Example 7
In R 2 consider vectors v1 = ( 1, 2 ) ; v 2 = ( 2, 1 ). Show that

Solution.
the linear combination
Span{v1, v2 } .
For
b = ( b1 , b2 )  R2, we define coefficients k1, k2 in
v = k1v1 + k2v2 .
This implies to solve the system of equations
 k1  2k 2  b1

2k1  k 2  b2
Then
k1 = (2b2 – b1)/2 ; k2 = ( 2b1 – b2 ) / 2
3. Bases and dimension
3.1. Independence and dependence.
Definition 1
1) In a vector space V, a system of vectors { v 1, …, vn } is called a
linearly independent system if it satisfies the following condition.
If
k1v1 +k2v2 +… + knvn = 
k1 = k2 = … = kn = 0.
then
(3.1)
38
2) A system of vectors that is not linearly independent is
called linearly dependent.
Note that a system { v 1, …, vn } is linearly dependent if satisfies the
following condition: there are numbers k1, …, kn not all zeros such that
k1v1 +k2v2 +… + knvn =  .
(3.2)
Example 1
In R 3 given vectors v 1 = ( 1, 1, 1 ); v 2 = ( 1, 1, 0 ); v 3 = ( 2, 1, 0 ). Show
that the system of vectors v 1, v2 , v3 is linearly independent.
Solution.Suppose that k1v1 + k2v2 + k3v3 =  . Then
 k1  k 2  2 k 3  0

 k1  k 2  k 3  0 .
 k

 1
This implies k1 = 0, k2 = 0, k3 = 0. The system is linearly independent.
Example 2
Show that in R 3 the system { v 1, v2, v3 } where v 1 = (1, 1, 0 );
v2 = ( 0, 1, 1 ) ; v 3 = ( 1, 2, 1 ) is linear dependent.
Solution. k1v1 + k2v2 + k3v3 =  



(k1, k2 , k3 ) = t ( -1, -1, 1 ), tR
So the system is linearly dependent.
Theorem 1
In a vector space V, following statements are true:
1
A subset of a linearly independent system is a linerly
independent system.
2
A system containing a linearly dependent system is a
linearly dependent system.
3
A system containing zero vector is linearly dependent.
39
Proof. 1) Let { v 1, …vk, …vn } be a linearly independent system,
1v1 + 2v2 +… +kvk =  
{ v1, …, vk} is a subset . Assume that
1v1 + 2v2 +… +k vk + k+1vk+1 +… + nvn =  where k+1 =…n = 0 .
(3.3)
From the linear independence of given system and expression (3.3) it
follows
1 = … =k = 0
. Thus the system { v1, …, vk} is linearly
independent.
2) Let
{ v 1, …vk, …v n }
dependent system { v 1, …, vk}. If
is a system containing
a linearly
{ v 1, …vk , …vn } is linearly independent
then by statement 1) we have { v 1, …, vk } is linearly independent . This is a
contradition. So { v 1, …vk, …v n } is linearly dependent.
3) Assume { v 1, …vk , …vn } is a system contaning zero vector . Let
vk = . Then we have ( 1, …, k, …, n ) = ( 0, …, ,1, …,0) that satisfies
1v1 + 2v2 +… +kvk + k+1vk+1 +… + nvn =  .
Thus, the system { v 1, …vk , …vn } is linearly dependent..
The proof is completed.
Theorem 2.
Let {u1, …, um} be an linearly independent such that each vector u i can
be expresed as a combination of a system { v 1, …vn}. Then m  n.
3.2. Bases , dimension
Definition 2
A system {v 1, …, vn } is called a spanning system of space V if each vV
is a linear combination of vectors of the system.
40
Definition 3
A system {v 1, …, vn } is called a basis of vector space V if it is a
spanning system and is linearly independent .
Example 3
In R n , Show that B = { e1, …, en } with e1 = ( 1, 0, …, 0 );
e2 = ( 0,1,…, 0 ) ; …, en = ( 0, …, 1 ) is a basis of R n.
Solution. It is to see that if 1e1` + 2e2 + … + nen = 
then
1 =…=n = 0. The independence of B is proved. Now let
x = ( x 1, …, xn ) Rn . Then x = x 1e1 + x2e2 +…+xnen. So B is a spanning
system of R n and is a basis of R n. It is called the canonical basis of R n
Example 4.
In Pn[x] we set B = { 1; x; …, x n}. Then B is a basis of the vector space
Pn[x].
Solution. If 1.1 + 2.x + …+n+1xn+1 = 0 then 1 =…= n+1 = 0. The
system is independent.
Now take an arbitrary polynomial p  Pn[x] . Then
p = a0 + a1.x + …+ anxn.
Thus, p is a linearly combination
of the system B . Therefore, B
becomes a basis of the space P n[x]. That is called the canonical basis
of
Pn[x].
41
Example 5
In R 2 consider B = { v 1, v2 } where v 1 = ( 1, 2 ); v 2 = ( 2, 3 ). Show that B
is a basis of R 2.
Solution. If 1v1 +2v2 =  then
 1  22  0

21  32  0
This follows 1 = 2 = 0 and therefore, the system B is linearly independent.
Now take an arbitrary b = ( b 1, b2 ) in R 2 . Then there are 1, 2 in R
satisffies
1v1 + 2v2 = b. Actually, this is equivalent to the esistence of
 1  22  b1
solution of system 
.
21  32  b2
The determinant
1 2
= -1  0 
2 3
System has a unique solution (1, 2 ) and B= { v1,v2 } is a spanning set of R 2.
Thus B= { v1,v2 } is a basis of R2.
Theorem 3
If a space V has a basis containing n vectors then an arbitrary basis of
V contains n vectors.
Proof. Assume that B = { e1, …, en }, B’ = { e’1, …, e’n } are bases of V.
Then each each vector ei can be expressed as a linear combination of
{ e’1, …,e’n }. By Theorem 2, n  m. Analogously, m n . So m = n.
Definition 4
a) If the vector space V has a basis containing n vectors then the
number n is called the dimension of V and denoted by n = dimV.
42
b) In case V = { } , the dimension of V is zero and denoted dimV = 0.
c)If dim V = n or dimV = 0 then V is called a finite dimension space.
d)If dimension of V is not finite , V is called an infinite dimension
space.
Example 6
a) dim (R n) = n
b) dim( Pn[x] ) = n+ 1,
c) dim P[x] = .
Theorem 4
a) In an n dimensional vector space V every system of
linearly
independent n vectors is a basis.
b) In an n dimensional vector space V, every system of linearly
independent m vectors ( m  n ) can be added by n-m vectors to become a
basis.
Theorem 5
Let B = { e1, …,en } be a basis of a vector space V and v is an arbitrary
vector then v can be expressed uniquely in the form
v = x1e1+x2e2 +… + xnen
, xi  R
(3.4).
Proof. B is a basis, it is a spanning system of V . Hence a vector v can
be expressed in the form (3.4) :
v = x 1e1+x2e2 +… + xnen
, xi  R
43
Now we will prove the uniqueness of the expession. Let v can be
expressed in another form:
v = y 1e1 + … + x nen ,
yi  R
( x 1 – y1 ) e1 +.. +(x n – yn )en =  . Then x 1 –y1 = … = x n –yn = 0 and
We get
therefore x 1 = y1 , …, xn = yn.
Theorem is proved. 
Definition 5
For a basis B = { e1, …,en } of the vector space V, if a vector v is
expressed as v = x 1e1 + …+xnen then the sequence ( x 1, …, xn ) is called the
coordinate of v with respect to the basis B . Denote (v)B = ( x 1, …, xn ).
Theorem 6
Let B be a basis of a vector space V, u, v in V. Assume that
(u)B = ( x1,…,xn ), (v)B = ( y1, …,yn ) . Then
a)
( u + v ) B = ( x1 +y1 ,…, xn +yn );
b)
( ku ) B
= ( kx 1 , …, kxn ) for k  R.
Proof. a) u + v = ( x 1e1 +…+xnen ) + ( y1e1 + … +y nen ) =
= ( x 1 +y1 )e1 + …+ (xn+yn)en.
This concludes a).
ku = k ( x 1e1 +…+ynen ) = (kx 1e1 +…+ kynen )
 ( ku ) B
= ( kx 1 , …, kxn ). 

3.3. Rank of a system of vectors.
Definition 6
Given a system { v 1, …,vm } in a vector space V. Rank of the system is
the dimension of Span{ v 1, …, vn } denoted by rank{v 1,…, vn }.
Definition 7
Let B = { e1, …,en } be a basis of a space V, {v 1,…,vn} be a system of
vectors in V . If vectors v 1,…, vn are expressed

rank{v 1,v2 } = 2.
Solution. {v1, v2 } is linearly independent and it is a basis of
span{v1,v2 } . Thus rank{v 1, v2 } = dim span{v1,v2 } = 2.
Example 8
45
In P2[x] given a system {v 1, v2, v3} where v 1 = 1+x+x 2;
v2 = 1+2x+3x 2 ; v3 = 1 + 3x+ 5x 2.
Define the matrix of coordinate of the
system with respect to the canonical basis { 1; x; x 2 }.
Solution. The matrix of coordinate rows of system is the matrix

The relation between rank of systems of vectors and rank of matrices
is given by the followwing theorem.
Theorem 7
In a finite dimensional vector space the rank of a system of vectors {v 1,
…, vm} is equal to the rank of matrix of coordinate of that system with
respect to a basis.
Corollary 8
Let A be the matrix of system { v 1,…,vn } with respect to a basis in an
n dimensions space V. Then the system is linearly independent if and only if
det(A)  0.
3.4. Change of basis
Let B = {e1,...,en } , B’ = {e1’,...,en’ } be two bases ,and v be a vector in a
vector space V . We can consider coordinates of v respect to B ,B’. We find the
relation between those coordinates.

LINEAR MAPPINGS
1. Definitions and elementary properties of
linear mappings
1.1. Definitions and examples.
Definition 1
Let V and V’ be vector spaces on R, a mapping
f : VV’ is called a linear mapping if it satisfies :
1) f ( x+ y) = f(x) + f(y) ,  x, y  V
2) f( kx) = kf(x) ,  x V, k R
Example1
a) f : V  V given by f(x) =  ,  xV is a linear mapping.
b) f : V  V given by
f(x) = x , xV is a linear mapping.
c) f : R 3 R2 , f( x 1, x2, x3) = ( x 1 +x2 +x3 ; x1 – x2 –2x3 ) is a linear
mapping.
50
Theorem 1
For a linear mapping f : VV’ :
1) f ( ) =
2) f ( -x ) = - f(x),  x in V,
3) f( x –y ) = f(x) – f(y)
4) f ( k1v1 + k2v2 + ... + knvn) = k1f(v1) +k2 f(v2) + ...+ knf(vn ),
where ki R, vi  V.
1.2. Images and kernel of a linear mapping.
Definition 2
Let f : VV’ be a linear mapping.
a) the set Ker(f) = { x V f(x) =  } is called the kernel of f,
b) The set Imf = { f (x)  x V } is called the image of f
Theorem 2
Let f : VV’ be a linear mapping. Then Ker(f) is a subspace of V and Imf
is a subspace of V’.
Theorem 3
Let f : VV’ be a linear mapping . Then f is injective if and only if
Kerf = { }.
Proof. Necessary . Assume f is injective, f(x) =  = f ()  x =
51
 Kerf = { }.
Surfficient. Assume Kerf = { }. If x, y in V such that
f(x) = f(y)  f(x) – f( y) =   f( x –y ) =   x –y lies in Kerf ={ }.
So x –y =  and x = y , f is injective .
Theorem 4
For a linear mapping f from an n-dimensional space V to another
space V’, the following equality holds
dim(V ) = dim(Imf) + dim(Ker f).
Proof. Hint. Let { e1, ..., er } be a base of Kerf, { w1,..., ws } a base of Imf.
Assume u1, ..., us are in V such that f(u i ) = wi. Then we show that
{ e1,..., er, u1,...,us } is a base of V.
Thus, dim V = r + s = dim(Imf )+ dim(Kerf).
Definition 3
Given a linear mapping f : VV’.
a) f is called an isomorphism if it is a bijection.
b) If f is a isomorphism then V, V’ are called isomorphic
Theorem 5
52
1) Let dim V = dim V’ = n. A linear mapping f from V to V’ is an
isomorphism if and only if f is injective or onto.
2)Two finite dimensionl spaces are isomorphic if and only if their
dimensions are the same.
1.3. Operations on linear mappings.
Definition 4
Let f, g : VV’ be linear mappings. The sum of f and g is a mapping
( f +g ) : VV’defined by ( f+g ) (x) = f(x) + g(x). The scalar product of f by
kR is a mapping kf : VV’ defined by (kf)(x) = kf(x).
Note. f + g and kf are linear mappings.
Theorem 6
Let f: VV’, g : V’V’’ be linear mappings . Then the product

f(e1) = f (1,0,0) = ( 1, 2 ) = 1e’1 + 2e’2
f(e2) = f(0,1,0) = ( 1, -1 ) = 1e’1 – 1e’2

For an nn matrix A, the polynomial on  det(A-E) is called the
characteristic polynomial of A. The equation

2. Quadratic forms
2.1. Definitions and examples
Definition 1
Let  : VV  R be a symmetrix form. The map  : VR defined by :
(x) = (x,x) is called a quadratic form on V.
Example 1
: R 2R2 R given by ( x, y ) = x 1y1 + 2x1y2 +3x2y2 , is a symmetrix
bilinear form. Then (x) = (x,x) = x 12 +4x1x2 +3x22 is the quadratic form
defined by .
Definition 2
Let  be a quadratic defined by a symmetrix bilinear form  and A be the
matrix of  with respect to a basis B. Then A is also called the matrix of the
quadratic  with respect to B.
64
Thus, each matrix of a quadratic form is a symmetrix matrix.

Let  be a quadratic form on V, B = { e1, ..., en } be a basis such that the
coordinate formula of  is expressed by:
( x) = a11x12 +...+ annxn2

Then the formula (2.2) is called a canonical form of  .

u U, w W and then denote UW. Let U be a subspace of V, v V. If v = u +
w, u U, w  U then u is called the projection of v onU, denote

3.5.2 Orthogonal diagonalization
75
Definition 7
Let A be an nn matrix. If there is an orthogonal matrix P such that
PtAP = D , where D is a diagonal matrix then A is called orthogonal
diagonalizable and P is called orthogonal diagonalizing A.
Theorem 7
The matrix A is orthogonal diagonalizable if and only if A is
symmetrix.
To find a matrix P which is orthogonal diagonalizing the matrix A we
use following results
Theorem 8
For a symmetrix matrix A, eigenvectors correspongding to distin ct
eigenvalues are orthogonal.
Theorem 9
For each symmetrix matrix A, all eigenvales are real numbers.
Theorem 10
For each symmetrix matrix A, there is a basis containing orthonormal
eigenvectors.
For a root  of multiple k of the characteristic equation det( A-E) =
0, dimension of the eigenspace is k.
To diagonalize a symmetric matrix A we can use the following Algorithm.

Quadrics in the Euclidean
plane are those of dimension
D = 1, which is to say that they
are curves. Such quadrics are
the same as conic sections, and
are typically known as conics
rather than quadrics.
Ellipse (e=1/2), parabola (e=1) and hyperbola (e=2) with fixed focus F and
directrix.
In Euclidean space, quadrics have dimension D = 2, and are known as quadric surfaces.
By making a suitable Euclidean change of variables, any quadric in Euclidean space can
be put into a certain normal form by choosing as the coordinate directions the principal
axes of the quadric. In three-dimensional Euclidean space there are 16 such normal
forms. Of these 16 forms, five are nondegenerate, and the remaining are degenerate
forms. Degenerate forms include planes, lines, points or even no points at all.[2]
