1. A coordinate is a scalar that scales the basis vector of its coordinate system.
2. Anytime we describe a vector numerically, it depends on the basis vectors we are using.
3. When thinking about one vector, consider it as an arrow; when thinking about a collection of
vectors, consider them as points.
4. A linear combination of a set of vectors involves scaling them and adding them together.
 The Subspace spanned by subset ‘S’ is defined as,
 The intersection of all subspaces of V which contains S.
 The set of all linear combinations of vectors in S.
5. The smallest subspace which contains S.
6. If a vector is a linear combination of a set of vectors, then the vectors are linearly dependent.
7. If each vector adds another dimension to the span, the vectors are linearly independent.
8. The span of two linearly independent vectors is the 2D space; if the two vectors align, their
span forms a certain line.
9. In three-dimensional space, the span of two linearly independent vectors forms an infinite
flat sheet; the span of three linearly independent vectors is the 3D space. If they are linearly
dependent, the span remains a flat sheet.
10. The Basis of a vector space is a set of linearly independent vectors that span the entire
space. Simply,
 B is a linearly independent set of V and
 V = span B (= L(B))
11. The Dimension of a Vector space is the No. of non-zero rows after converting it into row
reduced echelon matrix.
12. To find the basis for space spanned by some vectors (say v1, v2) put those as rows and do
above procedure.
13. To find a subset of vectors that forms a basis of space by these vectors ( v1, v2) put those as
columns and proceed.
