This page (span) should really be a subpage under linear algebra or vector space, 
 since it is a restricted technical definition which meaningless out of  
 context  (critical in context though). 
 Span occurs not as a separate page but as an alternate word for "generate" on the  
 Linear Algebra page under Generating a Vector Space.   

 No, this page should be renamed "span (mathematics)" or "span (linear algebra)" as soon as the newest UseModWiki version is turned on...

 the search for SPAN should link to this page too (right now links to Saudi Payment Network)
