==Force Vectors==&lt;br /&gt;
A force has a direction and a magnitude.&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mbox{There is a special force vector called 0.}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mbox{They can be added.}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mbox{They can be multiplied by any scalar.}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mbox{(convention: }x,y,z\mbox{ }\mbox{ are vectors; }a,b,c\mbox{ }\mbox{ are scalars)}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x y=y x \ &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x (y z)=(x y) z \ &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x 0=x \ &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \forall x\; \exists\ y \ \mbox{ s.t. }x y=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=====Definition===== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let F be a field &amp;quot;of scalars&amp;quot;. A vector space over F is a set V, of &amp;quot;vectors&amp;quot;, along with two operations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  : V \times V \to V &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  \cdot: F \times V \to V \mbox{, so that:}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \forall x,y \in V\ x y=y x  &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \forall x,y \in V\ x (y z)=(x y) z &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \exists\ 0 \in V s.t.\; \forall x \in V\ x 0=x &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \forall x \in V\; \exists\ y \in V\  s.t. \ x y=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;  1\cdot x=x\ &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a(bx)=(ab)x\ &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a(x y)=ax ay\ &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \forall x \in V\ ,\forall a,b \in F\ (a b)x=ax bx &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
9. &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x \mapsto \vert x\vert \in \mathbb{R} \ \vert x y\vert \le \vert x\vert \vert y\vert &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
====&#039;&#039;Examples&#039;&#039;====&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ex.1.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; F^n= \lbrace(a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots,a_{n-1},a_n):\forall i\ a_i \in F \rbrace &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; n \in \mathbb{Z}\ , n \ge 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x=(a_1,\ldots,a_2)\ y=(b_1,\ldots, b_2)\ &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x y:=(a_1 b_1,a_2 b_2,\ldots,a_n b_n)\ &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; 0_{F^n}=(0,\ldots,0) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; a\in F\ ax=(aa_1,aa_2,\ldots,aa_n) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \mbox{In } \mathbb{Q}^3  \ \left( \frac{3}{2},-2,7\right) \left( \frac{-3}{2}, \frac{1}{3},240\right)=\left(0, \frac{-5}{3},247\right) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; 7\left( \frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{7},\frac{1}{9}\right)=\left( \frac{7}{5},1,\frac{7}{9}\right) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ex.2.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; V=M_{m\times n}(F)=\left\lbrace\begin{pmatrix} a_{11}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
