Then you get a vector space; and you can realize every vector space as isomorphic to one of these vector spaces by picking a basis and doing the stuff we did above.

Jan 8, 2022 · A vector is just an element of a vector space. For example, in the vector space ooof continuous functions on R, the function sin (x) is a vector.

A vector space is an algebraic object with its characteristic operations, and an affine space is a group action on a set, specifically a vector space acting on a set faithfully and transitively.

A vector space is a set of elements (called vectors) which is defined "over a field" in the sense that if you multiply by a number in the field (think real numbers), you still get an element in the vector space.

Aug 11, 2020 · A vector space is a set of elements (called "vectors"), along with some form of vector addition and scalar multiplication, subject to a list of requirements for how these two operations behave.

Oct 2, 2017 · A vector space needs to contain $\vec 0$. Thus any subset of a vector space that doesn't, like $\Bbb R^2 \setminus \ {\vec 0\}\subseteq \Bbb R^2$ with the standard vector operations is not a …

Finally, note that $\mathbb {C}$ is a vector space ( of dimension 2) over $\mathbb {R}$ because a complex number $ x+iy$ can be identified with the couple of real numbers $ (x,y) \in \mathbb {R}^2$ …

Sep 21, 2019 · Part I. I'm going to give a meta-answer here: most definitions in elementary mathematics (let's say "up to junior year in college") are pretty well established and tested. There are some bad …

Well an operation is some sort of function that takes either two vectors or a scalar and a vector to another vector (more on what a scalar is later). For consider the vector space R R where a vector is …

Sep 27, 2021 · In another lecture, a professor said that “over a field” means that the components of the elements in the vector space are from some field F. After hearing their explanations, I got confused – …
