no; these kinds of theorems come in pairs, in the sense that you can
consider acting by your matrix on the right, or on the left.

There are m.right_nullity() and m.left_nullity()

sage: m = matrix(RR,[[1,-1,2,0,3],[2,-1,3,-1,2],[3,0,3,0,6],[6,0,6,-1,9]])
sage: m.left_nullity()
1
sage: m.right_nullity()
2

Is there something wrong in documentation regarding them?
