Linear Algebra Series - The Four Fundamental Subspaces Solver
The Four Fundamental Subspaces

The Strategy: [ A | I ]

To find all four subspaces at once, we form the augmented matrix [ A | I ] and perform Gauss-Jordan elimination to reach Reduced Row Echelon Form [ R | E ].

  • Row Space C(Aᵀ): Non-zero rows of R.
  • Column Space C(A): Pivot columns from original A.
  • Null Space N(A): Special solutions from free variables (Solve Rx = 0).
  • Left Null Space N(Aᵀ): Rows of E corresponding to zero rows of R.
