    How to compute basis for the range, nullspace etc. of a matrix? 6 Approaches

    The four fundamental spaces of a matrix $A$, namely the range and the nullspace of itself $A$ or its transpose $A^T$, are the heart of linear algebra. We often find ourselves in need of computing a basis for the range or the nullspace of a matrix, for theoretical or applicational purposes. There are many ways of computing a basis for the range or nullspace for $A$ or $A^T$. Some are better for application, either due to their robustness against floating point…
