Subspaces Part 1: definition of a subspace

Preliminaries: 1. What is a subset? 2. How to verify a set is a subset of another set? 3. Notations and language of set theory related to subsets. In this video, we introduce the definition of a subspace. We go through a preliminary example to figure out what do subspaces of R^2 look like, and we will continue to talk about how to verify a subset of a vector space is a subspace in later videos.

Testing if a subset of a vector space is a subspace, the 2 axioms involved and why

In this video, I'll explain why we only need to test 2 axioms (among the 10 axioms in the definition of a vector space) when figuring out if a subset is a subspace.

Subspaces - A First Course in Linear Algebra

A subspace is a vector space that is contained within another vector space. So every subspace is a vector space in its own right, but it is also defined relative to some other (larger) vector space. We will discover shortly that we are already familiar with a wide variety of subspaces from previous sections.
