Hi guys,

I basically need help with matrices, I know all the basics about them like inverse, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors and all but I need help in some topics like matrix rank, null space and all.

I haven't read about them in any book so if you guys can post me links of some websites which explain these topics in detail please help me! :)
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Then you are not really asking about "matrices", you are asking about "linear transformations" on vector spaces.

Google on "linear transformations", "vector spaces" or, more specifically, "null space", or, more generally, "linear algebra".
 
Can someone please provide me with a link cause I searched before on google and could not find anything good!

So please help me :)
 
Well, I googled on "vector space" "null space" and immediately got
http://online.redwoods.cc.ca.us/instruct/darnold/linalg/dim/dim.pdf
and
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Linear_Algebra/Null_Spaces

They look good to me but I have no idea whether you would consider them "anything good".

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
