• a vector space is a set whose elements conform to the eight axioms of scaling and additiveness

• e.g.,

  • ℝ², ℝ³, P₃

• In this course we focus on three main vector spaces

  • ℝⁿ, Pₙ, M_{m\times n}

• a vector subspace is a subset of a vector space whose elements (which are vectors) are additively and multipicatively closed and contain the zero vector
