Rank and nullity measure the dimensions of key subspaces associated with a matrix. The rank is the dimension of the column space (or row space), while the nullity is the dimension of the null space. These are connected by the rank-nullity theorem: $\text{rank}(A) + \text{nullity}(A) = n$ for an $m \times n$ matrix.
