Khan Academy - Linear Independence

Unknown

Khan Academy lesson from its linear algebra course, using Sal Khan's videos to define span and linear independence and to test whether vector sets are dependent. Learners can decide independence by solving homogeneous systems and relate it to basis and dimension.
