In this lecture, the professor concentrated on bases and related theorems.&lt;br /&gt;
== Definition of basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
β &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\subset \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V is a basis if&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1/ It generates (span) V, span β = V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2/ It is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
1/ β is a basis of V iff every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = 0 = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 0∙ui&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence β is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On page 3, we find that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G) \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The reason is, the Theorem 1.5 in the textbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Theorem 1.5:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; The span of any subset &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Moreover, any subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; that contains &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\beta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subset of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from the first part of the Theorem 1.5. We have shown (in the lecture notes page 3) that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. From the &amp;quot;Moreover&amp;quot; part of Theorem 1.5, since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; containing &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; span(G)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

In this lecture, the professor concentrated on bases and related theorems.&lt;br /&gt;
== Definition of basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
β &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\subset \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V is a basis if&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1/ It generates (span) V, span β = V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2/ It is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
1/ β is a basis of V iff every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = 0 = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 0∙ui&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence β is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Clarification on lecture notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On page 3, we find that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G) \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The reason is, the Theorem 1.5 in the textbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Theorem 1.5:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; The span of any subset &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Moreover, any subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; that contains &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\beta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subset of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from the first part of the Theorem 1.5. We have shown (in the lecture notes page 3) that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. From the &amp;quot;Moreover&amp;quot; part of Theorem 1.5, since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; containing &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; span(G)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;

The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = 0 = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 0∙ui&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;

β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;

== theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
1/ β is a basis of V iff every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence β is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;

On page 3, we find that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G) \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The reason is, the Theorem 1.5 in the textbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Theorem 1.5:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; The span of any subset &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Moreover, any subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; that contains &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\beta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subset of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from the first part of the Theorem 1.5. We have shown (in the lecture notes page 3) that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. From the &amp;quot;Moreover&amp;quot; part of Theorem 1.5, since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; containing &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

In this lecture, the professor concentrated on bases and related theorems.&lt;br /&gt;
== Definition of basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
β &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\subset \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V is a basis if&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1/ It generates (span) V, span β = V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2/ It is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
1/ β is a basis of V iff every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 0.ui&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence β is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On page 3, we find that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G) \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The reason is, the Theorem 1.5 in the textbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Theorem 1.5:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; The span of any subset &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Moreover, any subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; that contains &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\beta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subset of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from the first part of the Theorem 1.5. We have shown (in the lecture notes page 3) that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. From the &amp;quot;Moreover&amp;quot; part of Theorem 1.5, since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; containing &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

== Definition of basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
β &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\subset \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V is a basic if&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1/ It generates ( span) V, span β = V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2/ It is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
1/ β is a basis of V iff every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 0.ui&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence β is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
1/ β is a basis of V iff every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 0.ui&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence β is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;

On page 3, we find that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G) \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The reason is, the Theorem 1.5 in the textbook.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\beta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subset of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from the first part of the Theorem 1.5.

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{12-240/Navigation}}&lt;br /&gt;
In this lecture, the professor concentrate on basics and related theorems.&lt;br /&gt;
== Definition of basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
β &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\subset \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V is a basic if&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1/ It generates ( span) V, span β = V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2/ It is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
1/ β is a basic of V iff every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 0.ui&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence β is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Clarification on lecture notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On page 3, we find that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G) \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The reason is, the Theorem 1.5 in the textbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Theorem 1.5:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; The span of any subset &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Moreover, any subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; that contains &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\beta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subset of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from the first part of the Theorem 1.5. We have shown (in the lecture notes page 3) that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. From the &amp;quot;Moreover&amp;quot; part of Theorem 1.5, since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; containing &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

β &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\subset \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V is a basic if&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1/ It generates ( span) V, span β = V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2/ It is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== theorems ==&lt;br /&gt;
1/ β is a basic of V iff every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
proof: ( in the case β is finite)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β = {u1, u2, ..., un}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp;lt;=) need to show that β = span(V) and β  is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that β span is the fact that every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β, which is given&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 ai &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, ui &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; β&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai.ui = 0 = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; 0.ui&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
since 0 can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way, ai=0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence β is linearly independent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(=&amp;gt;) every element of V can be written as a linear combination of elements of β in a unique way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, suppose &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui = v = &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ai∙ui - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; bi∙ui = 0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sum \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (ai-bi)∙ui = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
β is linear independent hence (ai - bi)= 0 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; i&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
i.e ai = bi, hence the combination is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Clarification on lecture notes ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On page 3, we find that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;G \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; then we say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(G) \subseteq span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. The reason is, the Theorem 1.5 in the textbook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Theorem 1.5:&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; The span of any subset &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; of a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;. Moreover, any subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; that contains &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; must also contain &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\beta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subset of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;span(\beta)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a subspace of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; from the first part of the Theorem 1.5.

Riddle: Professor and lion in a ring with &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V_p = V_l&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, help the professor live as long as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Recap == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Base - what were doing today&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linear combination (lc) - We say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;v&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a linear combination of a set &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S = \{u_1, \dots, u_n\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;v = a_1u_1, \dots, a_nu_n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; for scalars from a field &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Span - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\operatorname{span}(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the set of all linear combinations of the set &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Generate - We say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; generates a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\operatorname{span}(S) = V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pre - Basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Linear dependence&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039; A set S ⊂ V is called linearly dependent if you can express the zero vector as a linear combination of distinct vectors from S, excluding the non-trivial linear combination where all of the scalars are 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Otherwise, we call S &#039;&#039;&#039;linearly independent.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Examples ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. In &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;^3, take S = {u1 = (1,4,7), u2 = (2,5,8), u3 = (3,6,9)}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
u1 - 2u2 + u3 = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S is linearly dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. In R^n, take {e_i} = {0, 0, ... 1, 0, 0, 0} where 1 is in the ith position, and (ei) is a vector with n entries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claim: This set is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppose (∑ ai∙ei) = 0 ({ei} is linearly dependent.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(∑ ai∙ei) = 0 ⇔ a1(1, 0, ..., 0) + ... + an(0, ..., 0, 1) = 0 ⇔ (a1, 0, ... , 0) + ... +  (0, ... , an) = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ a1 = a2 = ... = an = 0!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Comments ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. {u} is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
Proof:&lt;br /&gt;
⇐ If u≠0, suppose au =0 &lt;br /&gt;
By property (a∙u = 0, a = 0 or u = 0), a = 0. Thus, {u} is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ By definition, au = 0 for {u} only when a = 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. ∅ is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exercise: Prove: &#039;&#039;&#039;Theorem&#039;&#039;&#039; Suppose S1 ⊂ S2 ⊂ V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S1 is linearly dependent, then S2 is dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S2 is linearly independent, then S1 is linearly independent. (Hint: contrapositive)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Basis == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;: A subset  β is called a basis if (1) β generates V → span(β) = V and (2) β is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Examples===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. V = {0}, β = {}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. {ei} for F^n, this is what we call the &#039;&#039;&#039;standard basis&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. B = {(1,1),(1, -1)}  is a basis for R^2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. P_n(F) β = {x^n, x^n-1, ... , x^1, x^0}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. P(F), β = (x^0, x^1 ... and on} (&#039;&#039;&#039;Infinite basis&#039;&#039;&#039;!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interesting inequality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This holds is true if the field does not have  characteristic 2. Can you see why?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Recap == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Base - what were doing today&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Linear combination (lc) - We say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;v&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a linear combination of a set &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S = \{u_1, \dots, u_n\}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;  if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;v = a_1u_1, \dots, a_nu_n&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; for scalars from a field &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;F&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Span - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\operatorname{span}(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the set of all linear combinations of the set &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Generate - We say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; generates a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\operatorname{span}(S) = V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Linear dependence&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039; A set S ⊂ V is called linearly dependent if you can express the zero vector as a linear combination of distinct vectors from S, excluding the non-trivial linear combination where all of the scalars are 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Otherwise, we call S &#039;&#039;&#039;linearly independent.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Examples ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. In &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;^3, take S = {u1 = (1,4,7), u2 = (2,5,8), u3 = (3,6,9)}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
u1 - 2u2 + u3 = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S is linearly dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. In R^n, take {e_i} = {0, 0, ... 1, 0, 0, 0} where 1 is in the ith position, and (ei) is a vector with n entries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claim: This set is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppose (∑ ai∙ei) = 0 ({ei} is linearly dependent.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(∑ ai∙ei) = 0 ⇔ a1(1, 0, ..., 0) + ... + an(0, ..., 0, 1) = 0 ⇔ (a1, 0, ... , 0) + ... +  (0, ... , an) = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ a1 = a2 = ... = an = 0!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Comments ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. {u} is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
Proof:&lt;br /&gt;
⇐ If u≠0, suppose au =0 &lt;br /&gt;
By property (a∙u = 0, a = 0 or u = 0), a = 0. Thus, {u} is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ By definition, au = 0 for {u} only when a = 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. ∅ is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exercise: Prove: &#039;&#039;&#039;Theorem&#039;&#039;&#039; Suppose S1 ⊂ S2 ⊂ V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S1 is linearly dependent, then S2 is dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S2 is linearly independent, then S1 is linearly independent. (Hint: contrapositive)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Basis == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;: A subset  β is called a basis if (1) β generates V → span(β) = V and (2) β is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Examples===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. V = {0}, β = {}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. {ei} for F^n, this is what we call the &#039;&#039;&#039;standard basis&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. B = {(1,1),(1, -1)}  is a basis for R^2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. P_n(F) β = {x^n, x^n-1, ... , x^1, x^0}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. P(F), β = (x^0, x^1 ... and on} (&#039;&#039;&#039;Infinite basis&#039;&#039;&#039;!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interesting inequality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This holds is true if the field does not have  characteristic 2. Can you see why?&lt;br /&gt;

Span - &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\operatorname{span}(S)&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the set of all linear combinations of the set &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Generate - We say &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;S&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; generates a vector space &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\operatorname{span}(S) = V&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pre - Basis ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Linear dependence&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039; A set S ⊂ V is called linearly dependent if you can express the zero vector as a linear combination of distinct vectors from S, excluding the non-trivial linear combination where all of the scalars are 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Otherwise, we call S &#039;&#039;&#039;linearly independent.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Examples ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. In &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;^3, take S = {u1 = (1,4,7), u2 = (2,5,8), u3 = (3,6,9)}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
u1 - 2u2 + u3 = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S is linearly dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. In R^n, take {e_i} = {0, 0, ... 1, 0, 0, 0} where 1 is in the ith position, and (ei) is a vector with n entries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claim: This set is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppose (∑ ai*ei) = 0 ({ei} is linearly dependent.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(∑ ai*ei) = 0 ⇔ a1(1, 0, ..., 0) + ... + an(0, ..., 0, 1) = 0 ⇔ (a1, 0, ... , 0) + ... +  (0, ... , an) = 0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ a1 = a2 = ... = an = 0!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Comments ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. {u} is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
Proof:&lt;br /&gt;
⇐ If u≠0, suppose au =0 &lt;br /&gt;
By property (a*u = 0, a = 0 or u = 0), a = 0. Thus, {u} is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
⇒ By definition, au = 0 for {u} only when a = 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. ∅ is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exercise: Prove: &#039;&#039;&#039;Theorem&#039;&#039;&#039; Suppose S1 ⊂ S2 ⊂ V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S1 is linearly dependent, then S2 is dependent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;gt; If S2 is linearly independent, then S1 is linearly independent. (Hint: contrapositive)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Basis == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;: A subset  β is called a basis if 1. β generates V → span(β) = V and 2. β is linearly independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Examples===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. V = {0}, β = {}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. {ei} for F^n, this is what we call the &#039;&#039;&#039;standard basis&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. B = {(1,1),(1, -1)}  is a basis for R^2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. P_n(F) β = {x^n, x^n-1, ... , x^1, x^0}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. P(F), β = (x^0, x^1 ... and on} (&#039;&#039;&#039;Infinite basis&#039;&#039;&#039;!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interesting inequality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This holds is true if the field does not have  characteristic 2. Can you see why?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(a,b) = (a+b)/2 * (1, 1) + (a-b)/2 * (1, -1)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{12-240/Navigation}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;vitamins&amp;quot; slide we viewed today is [http://drorbn.net/AcademicPensieve/Classes/12-240/index.html?im=FoodsHandout.jpg here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today, the professor introduces more about subspace, linear combination, and related subjects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Subspace ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remind about the theorem of subspace: a non-empty subset W ⊂ V is a subspace iff is is closed under the operations of V and contains 0 of V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First direction &amp;quot;=&amp;gt;&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
if  a non-empty subset W ⊂ V is a subspace , then W is a vector space over the operations of V . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=&amp;gt; + W is closed under the operations of V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
+ W has a unique identity of addition: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; a &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; W: 0 + a = a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, a a &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V. Hence 0 is also identity of addtition of V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second direction &amp;quot;&amp;lt;=&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
if a non-empty subset W ⊂ V is closed under the operations of V and contains 0 of V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
we need to prove that W is a vector space over operations of V, hence, and subspace of V.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Namely, we need to show that W satisfies all axioms of a vector space, but now we just consider some axioms and leave the rest to readers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS1: Consider &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x,y &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; W =&amp;gt;  a,b &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While V is a vector space&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
thus x + y = y + x ( and the sum &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; W since W is closed under addition)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS2: (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) is proven similarly&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS3: As given, 0 of V &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; W, pick any a in W ( possible since W is not empty)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, a &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V  hence a + 0 = a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus 0 is also additive identity element of W&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Today&#039;s class dealt with the properties of vector spaces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Definition ==&lt;br /&gt;
Let F be a field. A vector space V over F is a set V of vectors with special element O ( of V) and two operations: (+): VxV-&amp;gt;V, (.): FxV-&amp;gt;V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VxV={(v,w): v,w &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FxV={(c,v): c &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, v &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, (+): VxV-&amp;gt;V is (v,w)= v+w; (.): FxV-&amp;gt;V is (c,v)=cv&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such that &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS1 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x, y &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: x+y = y+x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS2 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x, y, z &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: x+(y+z) = (x+y)+z&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS3 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: 0 ( of V) +x = x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS4 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\exists \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: v + x= 0 ( of V)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS5 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V, 1 (of F) .x = x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS6 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; a, b &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F,  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: (ab)x = a(bx)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS7 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; a &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F,  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x, y &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: a(x + y)= ax + ay&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS8 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; a, b &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F,  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V:  (a + b)x = ax + bx&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
0 = 0x^n + 0x^n-1 +...+ 0x^0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
addition and multiplication: as you imagine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P(f) = {all polynomials with coefficients in F}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take F= &#039;&#039;&#039;Z&#039;&#039;&#039;/2    |F| = 2&lt;br /&gt;

                   x^2 = 1*x^2+0x+0 = g&lt;br /&gt;
                   yet f(0)= g(0) and f(1)=g(1)&lt;br /&gt;

   (c) x≠0 of V, ax=bx ==&amp;gt; a=b&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. 0 of V is unique &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Negatives are unique (so subtraction makes sense&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

5. a∙0=0&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
7. a∙v=0 &amp;lt;==&amp;gt; a=0 or v=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Proof==&lt;br /&gt;
1.  (a) x+z=y+z&lt;br /&gt;
        Find a w s.t. z+w=0 (V.S. 4)&lt;br /&gt;
       (x+z)+w = (y+z)+w&lt;br /&gt;
  Use VS2&lt;br /&gt;
        x+(z+w) = y +(z+w)&lt;br /&gt;
        x + 0   = y + o&lt;br /&gt;
  Use VS3      x=y&lt;br /&gt;

Today&#039;s class dealt with the properties of vector spaces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Definition ==&lt;br /&gt;
Let F be a field. A vector space V over F is a set V of vectors with special element O ( of V) and two operations: (+): VxV-&amp;gt;V, (.): FxV-&amp;gt;V&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VxV={(v,w): v,w &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FxV={(c,v): c &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F, v &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, (+): VxV-&amp;gt;V is (v,w)= v+w; (.): FxV-&amp;gt;V is (c,v)=cv&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such that &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS1 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x, y &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: x+y = y+x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS2 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x, y, z &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: x+(y+z) = (x+y)+z&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS3 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: 0 ( of V) +x = x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS4 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V, &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\exists \!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: v + x= 0 ( of V)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VS5 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V, 1 (of F) .x = x&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
VS7 &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; a &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; F,  &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\forall\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; x, y &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\in\!\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; V: a(x + y)= ax + ay&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In this class, the professor continued with some more theorems of field and introduced definition and theorems of complex number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Various properties of fields ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm 1&#039;&#039;&#039;: In a field F:&lt;br /&gt;
1. a+b = c+b ⇒ a=c&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. b≠0, a∙b=c∙b ⇒ a=c&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. 0 is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. 1 is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. -a is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. a^-1 is unique (a≠0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. -(-a)=a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. (a^-1)^-1 =a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. a∙0=0 **Surprisingly difficult, required distributivity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10. ∄ 0^-1, aka, ∄ b∈F s.t 0∙b=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11. (-a)∙(-b)=a∙b&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. a∙b=0 &#039;&#039;iff&#039;&#039; a=0 or b=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16. (a+b)∙(a-b)= a^2 - b^2  &lt;br /&gt;
[Define a^2 = a∙a]  &lt;br /&gt;
Hint: Use distributive law&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm 2&#039;&#039;&#039;: Given a field F, there exists a map Ɩ: Z → F with the properties (∀ m,n ∈ Z): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Ɩ(0) =0, Ɩ(1)=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) Ɩ(m+n) = Ɩ(m) +Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) Ɩ(mn) = Ɩ(m)∙Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Ɩ is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rough proof&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Test somes cases:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(2) = Ɩ(1+1) = Ɩ(1) + Ɩ(1) = 1 + 1 ≠ 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(3) = Ɩ(2 +1)= Ɩ(2) + Ɩ(1) = 1+ 1+ 1 ≠ 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(n) = 1 + ... + 1 (n times)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3) = ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3 + 3) = Ɩ(-3) + Ɩ(3) ⇒ Ɩ(-3) = -Ɩ(3) = -(1+1+1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What about uniqueness?&#039;&#039; Simply put, we had not choice in the definition of Ɩ. All followed from the given properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, we will be lazy and simply denote Ɩ(3) = 3_f [3 with subscript f]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
∃ m≠0, m ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;, Ɩ(m) =0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In which case, there is a smallest m&amp;gt;0, for which Ɩ(m)=0. &#039;&#039;&#039;m&#039; is the characteristic of F.&#039;&#039; Denoted char(F).&lt;br /&gt;
Examples: char(F_2)=2, char(F_3)=3... but NOTE: char(&#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm:&#039;&#039;&#039; If F is a field and char(F) &amp;gt;0, then char(F) is a prime number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppose char(F) =m, m&amp;gt;0. Suppose also m is not prime: m=ts, t,s ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Ɩ(m) = 0 = Ɩ(t)∙Ɩ(s) ⇒  Ɩ(t)=0 or  Ɩ(s)=0 by P12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Ɩ(t)=0 ⇒ t≧m ⇒ m=t, s=1 or  likewise for Ɩ(s)=0, and m=s, t=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any factorization of m, one of the factors is m and the other is 1. So m is prime. ∎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Complex number==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstraction, generalization, definition, examples, properties, dream, implications, realization = formalization, PROOF.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider that fact that in &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, ∄ x s.t. x^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dream: Add new number element 𝒊 to &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, so as to still get a field &amp;amp; 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implications: By adding 𝒊, we must add 7𝒊, and 2+7𝒊, 3+4𝒊, (2+7𝒊)∙(3+4𝒊), (2+7𝒊)^-1, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, how do we define this field?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; = {(a,b): a,b ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;}&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 0 (of the field) = (0,0); 1( of the field) = (1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define addition: (a,b)+(c,d) = (a+c, b+d)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define multification: (a,b)(c,d) = (ac-bd, ad+bc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Theorems:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 1.&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;, 0, 1, +, ∙) is a field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 2.&#039;&#039;&#039;  ∃ 𝒊 ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; s.t. 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 3.&#039;&#039;&#039;  &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; contains  &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (1): Show that each of the field axioms holds for &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. F1(a): ƶ1 + ƶ2 = ƶ2 + ƶ1, where ƶ1 = (a1, b1) and ƶ2 = (a2, b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS: (a1,b1)+(a2,b2) = (a1+a2, b1+b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RHS: (a2,b2)+(a1,b1) = (a2+a1, b2+b1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS=RHS by F1 of &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
F1(b) and so on...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (2):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;, consider i=(0,1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the definition i^2=i.i=(0.1-1.1,0.1+1.0)=(-1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also have 1(of &#039;&#039;&#039;c&#039;&#039;&#039;) + (-1,0)=(1,0)+(-1,0)=(0,0)=0 (of &#039;&#039;&#039;c&#039;&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence (-1,0) is the addictive inverse of 1, i.e, (-1,0)=-1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus i^2=-1. ∎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof 3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given the field &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; : map J: &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039; -&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) J(0)=(0,0);   J(1)=(1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) J(x+y)=J(x)+J(y); J(x.y)=J(x)J(y)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define J(x)=(x,0), all will follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From now on J(x) will be writen simply x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EX: J(7)=7, J(3)=3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, what does a+b𝒊 mean? (a, b ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a+b𝒊= Ɩ(a) + Ɩ(b)∙Ɩ(𝒊) = (a,0) + (b,0)∙(0,1) = (a,b)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence, (a,b) ~ a+b𝒊&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, we can  use a+b𝒊 with less hesitation.&lt;br /&gt;

Today&#039;s handout, &amp;quot;TheComplexField&amp;quot;, can be had from {{Pensieve link|Classes/12-240|Pensieve: Classes: 12-240}}.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In this class, the professor continued with some more theorems of field and introduced definition and theorems of complex number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Various properties of fields ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm 1&#039;&#039;&#039;: In a field F:&lt;br /&gt;
1. a+b = c+b ⇒ a=c&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. b≠0, a∙b=c∙b ⇒ a=c&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. 0 is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. 1 is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. -a is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. a^-1 is unique (a≠0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. -(-a)=a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. (a^-1)^-1 =a&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
9. a∙0=0 **Surprisingly difficult, required distributivity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10. ∄ 0^-1, aka, ∄ b∈F s.t 0∙b=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11. (-a)∙(-b)=a∙b&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12. a∙b=0 &#039;&#039;iff&#039;&#039; a=0 or b=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
16. (a+b)∙(a-b)= a^2 - b^2  &lt;br /&gt;
[Define a^2 = a∙a]  &lt;br /&gt;
Hint: Use distributive law&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm 2&#039;&#039;&#039;: Given a field F, there exists a map Ɩ: Z → F with the properties (∀ m,n ∈ Z): &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) Ɩ(0) =0, Ɩ(1)=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) Ɩ(m+n) = Ɩ(m) +Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3) Ɩ(mn) = Ɩ(m)∙Ɩ(n)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Ɩ is unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Rough proof&#039;&#039;&#039;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Test somes cases:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(2) = Ɩ(1+1) = Ɩ(1) + Ɩ(1) = 1 + 1 ≠ 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(3) = Ɩ(2 +1)= Ɩ(2) + Ɩ(1) = 1+ 1+ 1 ≠ 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(n) = 1 + ... + 1 (n times)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3) = ?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ɩ(-3 + 3) = Ɩ(-3) + Ɩ(3) ⇒ Ɩ(-3) = -Ɩ(3) = -(1+1+1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What about uniqueness?&#039;&#039; Simply put, we had not choice in the definition of Ɩ. All followed from the given properties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, we will be lazy and simply denote Ɩ(3) = 3_f [3 with subscript f]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
∃ m≠0, m ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;, Ɩ(m) =0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In which case, there is a smallest m&amp;gt;0, for which Ɩ(m)=0. &#039;&#039;&#039;m&#039; is the characteristic of F.&#039;&#039; Denoted char(F).&lt;br /&gt;
Examples: char(F_2)=2, char(F_3)=3... but NOTE: char(&#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)=0&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm:&#039;&#039;&#039; If F is a field and char(F) &amp;gt;0, then char(F) is a prime number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof: Suppose char(F) =m, m&amp;gt;0. Suppose also m is not prime: m=ts, t,s ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;N&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Ɩ(m) = 0 = Ɩ(t)∙Ɩ(s) ⇒  Ɩ(t)=0 or  Ɩ(s)=0 by P12.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Ɩ(t)=0 ⇒ t≧m ⇒ m=t, s=1 or  likewise for Ɩ(s)=0, and m=s, t=1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any factorization of m, one of the factors is m and the other is 1. So m is prime. ∎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Complex number==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Abstraction, generalization, definition, examples, properties, dream, implications, realization = formalization, PROOF.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Consider that fact that in &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, ∄ x s.t. x^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dream: Add new number element 𝒊 to &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;, so as to still get a field &amp;amp; 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Implications: By adding 𝒊, we must add 7𝒊, and 2+7𝒊, 3+4𝒊, (2+7𝒊)∙(3+4𝒊), (2+7𝒊)^-1, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, how do we define this field?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Definition&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; = {(a,b): a,b ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;}&lt;br /&gt;
Also, 0 (of the field) = (0,0); 1( of the field) = (1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define addition: (a,b)+(c,d) = (a+c, b+d)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define multification: (a,b)(c,d) = (ac-bd, ad+bc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Theorems:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 1.&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;, 0, 1, +, ∙) is a field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 2.&#039;&#039;&#039;  ∃ 𝒊 ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; s.t. 𝒊^2 = -1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Thrm. 3.&#039;&#039;&#039;  &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; contains  &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (1): Show that each of the field axioms holds for &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. F1(a): ƶ1 + ƶ2 = ƶ2 + ƶ1, where ƶ1 = (a1, b1) and ƶ2 = (a2, b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS: (a1,b1)+(a2,b2) = (a1+a2, b1+b2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RHS: (a2,b2)+(a1,b1) = (a2+a1, b2+b1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LHS=RHS by F1 of &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
F1(b) and so on...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof (2):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;, consider i=(0,1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the definition i^2=i.i=(0.1-1.1,0.1+1.0)=(-1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also have 1(of &#039;&#039;&#039;c&#039;&#039;&#039;) + (-1,0)=(1,0)+(-1,0)=(0,0)=0 (of &#039;&#039;&#039;c&#039;&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence (-1,0) is the addictive inverse of 1, i.e, (-1,0)=-1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus i^2=-1. ∎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proof 3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given the field &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039; : map J: &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039; -&amp;gt; &#039;&#039;&#039;C&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) J(0)=(0,0);   J(1)=(1,0)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2) J(x+y)=J(x)+J(y); J(x.y)=J(x)J(y)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Define J(x)=(x,0), all will follow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From now on J(x) will be writen simply x&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
EX: J(7)=7, J(3)=3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, what does a+b𝒊 mean? (a, b ∈ &#039;&#039;&#039;R&#039;&#039;&#039;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
a+b𝒊= Ɩ(a) + Ɩ(b)+Ɩ(𝒊) = (a,0) + (b,0)∙(0,1) = (a,b)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence, (a,b) ~ a+b𝒊&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, we can  use a+b𝒊 with less hesitation.&lt;br /&gt;

Please identify yourself in this photo! There are two ways to do that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Special:Userlogin|Log in]] to this Wiki and edit this page. Put your name, userid, email address and location in the picture in the alphabetical list below.&lt;br /&gt;
