Vector Space over a Field
A vector space over a field is a non-empty set with a binary operation on and a binary function such that the following hold for any and
Subspace of a Vector Space
A subset of a vector space over a field is called a subspace of if itself is a vector space over with the same operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication as . Specifically, is a subspace if:
