Linear Hull

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview
Let $ V$ be a vector space.

The set of all linear combinations of vectors $ v_1, \ldots , v_m \in V$ is called the linear hull of the vectors $ v_i$; notation: $ \operatorname{span}(v_1,\ldots,v_n)$.

If $ M \subset V$, then the set of all linear combinations from $ M$ is called linear hull of $ M$.

Linear hulls are subspaces.
