  PlanetMath: span
Span is both a noun and a verb; a set of vectors can span a vector space, and a vector can be in the span of a set of vectors.
To see whether a set of vectors spans a vector space, you need to check that there are at least as many linearly independent vectors as the dimension of the space.
This is version 17 of span, born on 2001-11-13, modified 2008-05-26.

 Linear span
In the mathematical subfield of linear algebra, the linear span, also called the linear hull, of a set of vectors in a vector space is the intersection of all subspaces containing that set.
The linear span of a set of vectors is therefore a vector space.
Another spanning set for the same space is given by {(1,2,3), (0,1,2), (−1,1/2,3), (1,1,1)}, but this set is not a basis, because it is linearly dependent.

 Linearly Independent Sets of Vectors
Note that the first and last linear combinations yield the same vector (0,0), even though the coefficients are not the same.
Linear dependence of a set of two or more vectors means that at least one of the vectors in the set can be written as a linear combination of the others.
Linear combinations in complex vector spaces have important applications, as the next examples illustrate.

A spanning set is not necessarily a basis for S as the spanning vectors need not be linearly independent.
The span of S may also be defned as the collection of all finite linear combinations of the elements of S.

This page (span) should really be a subpage under linear algebra or vector space, since it is a restricted technical definition which meaningless out of context (critical in context though).---- Span occurs not as a separate page but as an alternate word for "generate" on the Linear Algebra page under Generating a Vector Space.
In the mathematical subfield of linear algebra, the linear span of a set of vectors is the set of all linear combinations of the vectors.
The ''linear span'' of a set of vectors is a therefore a vector space but unlike a basis the vectors need not be linearly independent.

 Review of Chapters 1 and 2
If the linear system is given as a coefficient matrix A and a vector b, be able to get to the augmented matrix (so you can proceed to solve the system).
Linear dependence of a set of vectors is a sign that someone is not contributing a dimension to the span.
Geometrically, this linear combination must be unique because: The set of column vectors is linearly independent since, in a way, each column vector adds something to the span which the other vectors do not possess.

It is also shown that the linear span of the simplex splines contains all algebraic polynomials of degree not exceeding the degree of the splines.
The linear span of the simplex splines forms a spline space with several interesting properties.
The new approach gives rise to a natural generalization of univariate splines in that the linear span of this collection of B-splines forms a space which is analogous to the classical univariate splines.

(Linear ADM only.) Physically remove the protect fibers from all nodes in the linear ADM; for example, the fiber running from Node 2/Slot 13 to Node 3/Slot 13 (as shown in Figure 13-3) can be removed.
When upgrading point-to-point or linear ADM circuits to a path protection topology, a traffic hit of greater than 300ms occurs if the "Provision working go and return on primary path" routing option is not checked in the Circuit Attributes pane.

Part three provides further finiteness results, including a generalization of the linear system fact that finite realizability is equivalent to the existence of a (high-order) input/output difference equation, and studying the relationship between state- affine realizability and more general realizability of a bounded response.
It is interesting to remark that, since I in (2.9) is span canonical, it follows that the column space X is isomorphic to Lf (by (1.10), (1.11)).
The equation is output linear iff br, I =0.

That is, if any one of the vectors in a given collection is a linear combination of the others, then it can be discarded without affecting the span.
Therefore, to arrive at the most “efficient” spanning set, seek out and eliminate any vectors that depend on (that is, can be written as a linear combination of) the others.

 Basis (linear algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In linear algebra, a basis is a set of vectors that, in a linear combination, can represent every vector in a given vector space.
A basis B of a vector space V is a linearly independent subset of V that spans (or generates) V.
For a given vector, the corresponding coefficients in the linear combination are the coordinates of the vector relative to the basis.

Definition 1  We say the vector w from the vector space V is a linear combination of the vectors
So, we can see that the null space we were looking at above is in fact all the linear combinations of the vector (7,1).  It may seem strange to talk about linear combinations of a single vector since that is really scalar multiplication, but we can think of it as that if we need to.
w is not a linear combination of the two vectors.

In this section we’re going to take a look at an important idea in the study of vector spaces.  We will also be drawing heavily on the ideas from the previous two sections and so make sure that you are comfortable with the ideas of span and linear independence.
If this system has only the trivial solution the vectors will be linearly independent and if it has solutions other than the trivial solution then the vectors will be linearly dependent.
Example 1(c) from the section on Linear Independence we saw that these vectors are linearly independent.
