Kernel (matrix) - Null Space of A Linear Map

Null Space of A Linear Map

If V and W are vector spaces, the null space (or kernel) of a linear transformation T: V → W is the set of all vectors in V that map to zero:

If the linear map is represented by a matrix, then the kernel of the map is precisely the null space of the matrix.
