 | | A vector space (or linear space) is the basic object of study in the branch of |
 | | vectors, and the operations one can perform upon these vectors such as addition of vectors, scalar multiplication, with some natural constraints such as closure of these operations, associativity of these and combinations of these operations, and so on, we arrive at a description of a mathematical structure which we call a vector space. |
 | | To determine if a set V is a vector space, one only has to specify the set V, a field F, and define vector addition and scalar multiplication in V. |
