Advanced Linear Algebra, Lecture 2.1: Rank and nullity If T is a linear map from X to U, then the rank is the dimension of the image (a subspace of U), and the nullity is the dimension of the nullspace (a subspace of X). A fundamental result of finite-dimensional vector spaces is that these numbers add up to dim X. After proving this, we look at several easy special cases, and specialize them to systems of equation. For example, if we have n equations on n variables, and the null space of T is trivial, then the inhomogeneous system Tx=u always has a unique solution.
