Oxford Linear Algebra - Basis, Spanning and Linear Independence

Explore key concepts in linear algebra through a 42-minute video lecture by University of Oxford mathematician Dr Tom Crawford. Delve into the fundamental ideas of basis, spanning, and linear independence in vector spaces. Begin with an intuitive example of basis using polynomial vector spaces, then progress to formal definitions and worked examples. Examine spanning sets, linear independence, and their relationships. Practice your understanding with provided workbooks and additional video resources. Gain insights into constructing bases for 2D and 3D spaces, identifying linearly independent and dependent vector sets, and applying these concepts to real-world problems. Enhance your linear algebra skills with this comprehensive exploration of essential vector space properties.
