An immediate corollary, for finite-dimensional spaces, is the rank–nullity theorem: the dimension of V is equal to the dimension of the kernel (the nullity of T) plus the dimension of the image (the rank of T). The cokernel of a linear operator T : V → W is defined to be the quotient space W/im(T).
Rank–nullity theorem. The rank–nullity theorem is a theorem in linear algebra, which asserts: the number of columns of a matrix M is the sum of the rank of M and the nullity of M; and; the dimension of the domain of a linear transformation f is the sum of the rank of f (the dimension of the image of f) and the nullity of f (the dimension of ...
The dimension of the column space is called the rank of the matrix and is at most min(m, n). [1] A definition for matrices over a ring is also possible. The row space is defined similarly. The row space and the column space of a matrix A are sometimes denoted as C(A T) and C(A) respectively. [2] This article considers matrices of real numbers
Row operations do not change the row space (hence do not change the row rank), and, being invertible, map the column space to an isomorphic space (hence do not change the column rank). Once in row echelon form, the rank is clearly the same for both row rank and column rank, and equals the number of pivots (or basic columns) and also the number ...
It can be shown using the rank–nullity theorem applied to π and Φ that each vector X∈T x M has a unique horizontal lift to a vector ~. In particular, the tangent field to γ generates a horizontal vector field in the total space of the pullback bundle γ*E.

The left null space of A is the same as the kernel of A T. The left null space of A is the orthogonal complement to the column space of A, and is dual to the cokernel of the associated linear transformation. The kernel, the row space, the column space, and the left null space of A are the four fundamental subspaces associated with the matrix A.
For a transformation between finite-dimensional vector spaces, this is just the difference dim(V) − dim(W), by rank–nullity. This gives an indication of how many solutions or how many constraints one has: if mapping from a larger space to a smaller one, the map may be onto, and thus will have degrees of freedom even without constraints.
