rank-nullity theorem  

Definition

  • The rank–nullity theorem is a theorem in linear algebra, which asserts:
    • the number of columns of a matrix M is the sum of the rank of M and the nullity of M; and
    • the dimension of the domain of a linear transformation f is the sum of the rank of f (the dimension of the image of f) and the nullity of f (the dimension of the kernel of f).
    It follows that for linear transformations of vector spaces of equal finite dimension, either injectivity or surjectivity implies bijectivity.
