Definition of the span of a set of vectors. Example of checking if a vector in R^3 is in the span of a set of two vectors. Geometric picture of a span.
Suggestions for in-class activities on linear combination and span of vectors in R^n. (need a topic for the general *process* of determining if a vector is in the span of a set of devtors)
In-class activity for linear combinations and span.

In this section we will provide an extremely compact way to describe an infinite set of vectors, making use of linear combinations. This will give us a convenient way to describe the solution set of a linear system, the null space of a matrix, and many other sets of vectors.
