Nullity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In linear algebra, the nullity of a matrix M is the number of columns of M minus the rank of M. If the m by n matrix M is regarded as a linear transformation Rⁿ → R^m, then the nullity is equal to the dimension of the kernel of this linear transformation.
