Vector Spaces
Span (noun) of vectors
Subspaces
Orthogonal spaces and complements
Dimension
Matrices
Rank; full column/row rank
Row reduced echelon form; pivot/free columns/variables
All solutions to Ax = b when b is in C(A)
Least squares solution to Ax = b when b is not in C(A)
Orthonormal columns; orthogonal matrices
A = QR factorization (dont need to compute R, know its properties)
Vectors
Orthogonal; orthonormal
(Linearly) independent
Spanning a space
Basis
Projecting a vector onto a space
Gram-Schmidt Process
Four Fundamental Subspaces
What they are/what it means for a vector to be in one of them
Finding bases and dimension
Geometric relationship
Possible types of questions include:
a) Defining various things that have come up in lecture. Try to be
precise in giving definitions. You may also need to be familiar
with a term or terms in order to understand a question, though
the exact definition may not be what is asked for.
b) True-False. The answer is true only when the statement is always
true. If there are any exceptions, then the statement is false.
c) Fill in the blank or multiple choice.
d) Short answer, where you will need to describe or explain
something.
e) Computation. Solve for something, showing adequate work
along the way.
f) Formulas.
g) Some (linear) combination of a) thru f).
