- uoaei 3y agoKernel is an overloaded term and actually there's two different usages of the word in the article itself: one referring to the kernel operator[1][2] (the primary subject of the article) and another referring to the kernel of a homomorphism[3] (essentially the complement of a subspace in a coordinate system in the linear case).
