In linear algebra, the column space, C(A) of a matrix (sometimes called the range of a matrix) is the set of all possible linear combinations of its column vectors. The column space of an m × n matrix is a subspace of m-dimensional Euclidean space. The dimension of the column space is called the rank of the matrix.
The column space of a matrix is the image or range of the corresponding matrix transformation.

Famous quotes containing the words column and/or space:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“There is commonly sufficient space about us. Our horizon is never quite at our elbows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
