The group structure is given by the multiplication of loops (going around two loops successively) If X is path connected, then the fundamental groups with different base points are isomorphic. In this case, they are denoted simply by π1 (X). Example 1. ...

... 1. If we know the values of a linear transformation T : Rn → Rd on each ~ei , do we know the value for any ~x ∈ Rn ? Why? Discuss with your tablemates. 2. Prove that T (~x) = A~x where A is the d × n matrix formed by the vectors T (~e1 ), . . . T (~en ). This is a crucial idea. Be sure you understan ...

Math 51H LINEAR SUBSPACES, BASES, AND DIMENSIONS
... Definition. A non-empty subset V of Rn is called a linear subspace if and only if it is closed under addition and under scalar multiplication, i.e., if and only if A, B ∈ V =⇒ A + B ∈ V A ∈ V and c ∈ R =⇒ cA ∈ V Remark. If V is a subspace, then any linear combination of vectors in V must also be in ...

One can extend to a maximal linearly independent set – that extended set will be a basis – this is how one shows any vector space has a basis. 2) If a finite set S o ...
