First direction:

if a non-empty subset W ⊂ V is a subspace , then W is a vector space over the operations of V .

=> + W is closed under the operations of V.

+ W has a unique identity of addition: <math>\forall\!\,</math> a <math>\in\!\,</math> W: 0 + a = a

Second direction

if a non-empty subset W ⊂ V is closed under the operations of V

The "vitamins" slide we viewed today is here.

Today, the professor introduces more about subspace, linear combination, and related subjects.


Subspace

Remind about the theorem of subspace: a non-empty subset W ⊂ V is a subspace iff is is closed under the operations of V and contain 0 of V

Proof:

First direction:

if  a non-empty subset W ⊂ V is a subspace , then W is a vector space over the operations of V . 

=> + W is closed under the operations of V.

  + W has a unique identity of addition:  a  W: 0 + a = a

Second direction

if a non-empty subset W ⊂ V is closed under the operations of V

we need to prove that
