Kernel Extension Theorem For Vector Spaces
This application of the dimension theorem is sometimes itself called the dimension theorem. Let
- T: U → V
be a linear transformation. Then
- dim(range(T)) + dim(kernel(T)) = dim(U),
that is, the dimension of U is equal to the dimension of the transformation's range plus the dimension of the kernel. See rank-nullity theorem for a fuller discussion.

Famous quotes containing the words kernel, extension, theorem and/or spaces:
“We should never stand upon ceremony with sincerity. We should never cheat and insult and banish one another by our meanness, if there were present the kernel of worth and friendliness. We should not meet thus in haste.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“‘Tis the perception of the beautiful,
A fine extension of the faculties,
Platonic, universal, wonderful,
Drawn from the stars, and filtered through the skies,
Without which life would be extremely dull.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Surely, we are provided with senses as well fitted to penetrate the spaces of the real, the substantial, the eternal, as these outward are to penetrate the material universe. Veias, Menu, Zoroaster, Socrates, Christ, Shakespeare, Swedenborg,—these are some of our astronomers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
