Homework Statement:: I want to understand the proof for the following theorem: span(S) is the intersection of all subspaces of V containing S.
Relevant Equations:: N/A
I know that if ##W## is any subspace of ##V## containing ##S## then ##\text{span}(S) \subseteq W##.
I have read (Page 157: # 4.86) that it follows that ##S## is contained in the intersection of all subspaces containing ##S## but I do not quite get why.
Once I understand the above I should be ready to move forward
Thanks!
