We have the following general theorems that are usually proved in any Linear Algebra course:

1. Two finite-dimensiona real vector spaces V and W are isomorphic if amd only if they have the same dimension, that is,
dim V = dim W = n. As a Corollary, every n-dimensional real vector space is isomorphic to R^n.

2. The column rank of any (m by n) matrix A, that is, the maxinmal number of linearly independent columns of A, is the same as the row-rank of A, that is, the maximal number of linearly independent rows of A.

Now, the row space of a matrix is the set of all linear combinations of its rows, considered elements of R^m. Suppose, A has row-rank k, that is, A has k linearly ...

  • a geometric construction

    In 1882 Lindemann proved that pi was transcendental, that is, pi is not a root of any polynomial with rational coefficients. This effectively means that the problem can't be solved only using a straightedge and compass.

    This union must be open by the above statement, it also must be all contained in A, and it also contains all the points of A. Therefore this union is A itself, and so we proved that A is open.

  • First principles using standard theorems on trigonometric limits

    These are proved in any standard textbook on calculus: lim_{h to 0} (sin ah)/(h) = a, lim_{h to 0}(1 - cos ah)/(h) = 0, where a is any real number.

  • Invertibility proof

    This implies that is invertible. Since for any , then . This is a proof regarding invertibility. The elementary theorems about linear operators, transformations and definitions of invertibility is determined.

  • Riemann-Stieltjes Integral or R-S integral

    Many theorems are mere imitations of several results already proved in the study of Riemann integration. Let g be a real valued monotone increasing function on [a, b]. Since g(a) and g(b) are finite, g is bounded on [a, b].

  • Matrices : Rank

    There are theorems in linear algebra that prove that the row rank of a matrix always equals the column rank, and the common value is just called the "rank" of the matrix.
