Homework Statement
I am having trouble finding a basis in a given vector space.
I understand how to find a basis of Rn, just find linearly independent vectors that span Rn
But how would i find a basis of the set of 3x3 symmetric real matrices?
Or Find a basis of real polynomials of degree less than or equal to 3?
If i understand more about a basis, then I might be able to do this.
Homework Equations
A set of vectors B in a vector space S is a basis of S iff B is a linearly independent spanning set of S.
