Today's class dealt with the properties of vector spaces.


Definition

Let F is a field, a vector space V over F is a set V of vectors with special element O ( of V) and tow operations: (+): VxV->V, (.): FxV->V

VxV={(v,w): v,w V}

FxV={(c,v): c F, v V}

Then, (+): VxV->V is (v,w)= v+w; (.): FxV->V is (c,v)=cv

Such that

VS1 x, y V: x+y = y+x

VS2 x, y, z V: x+(y+z) = (x+y)+z

VS3 x V: 0 ( of V) +x = x

VS4 x V, V V: v + x= 0 ( of V)

VS5 VS6
