  1. Vivid examples of vector spaces? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    The vector space of all order n magic squares (n × n matrices with real entries and all row and column and diagonal sums equal). The reals as a vector space over the rationals.

  2. 'Free Vector Space' and 'Vector Space' - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    In this very nice book, author has defined vector space as set of functions f: S →F f: S → F where S S is a finite set and F F is a field. It turns out that this definition is closely resemble definition of Free …

  3. What are differences between affine space and vector space?

    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.

  4. Vector Spaces: Understanding the basics - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    May 11, 2018 · Can there be Vector Spaces contained inside the Real Number Line? Yes! Going in this direction pushes you into Galois theory. For example, taking Q Q as the base field again, the vector …

  5. What is the difference between vector space and vector span?

    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 …

  6. What is the difference between a Set, a Vector, and, a Vector Space?

    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.

  7. Linear Algebra: What do vector spaces represent?

    What is a vector space? In short, a vector space is a place where we can add and scalar multiply vectors. Why do we care about vector spaces? Once you declare something has a vector space …

  8. Prove in full detail that the set is a vector space

    Since you are working in a subspace of R2 R 2, which you already know is a vector space, you get quite a few of these axioms for free. Namely, commutativity, associativity and distributivity. With the …

  9. linear algebra - How to show that a given set is a vector space ...

    Have you learnt about vector subspaces? You can prove that this space is a vector space by exhibiting it as a vector subspace of a known vector space, for example, R4 R 4.

  10. Polynomials as vector spaces? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    A mathematical vector space is defined abstractly - I suggest you look up vector spaces online or in a text book, and check the definition. One motivating factor for looking at vector spaces is that …
