4.7 General Vector Spaces

In the previous six sections of this chapter, almost all the specific vector spaces appearing in our examples and problems have been vector spaces of n-tuples of real numbers. We have thus confined our attention largely to Euclidean spaces and their subspaces. In this section we discuss examples of some other types of vector spaces that play important roles in various branches of mathematics and their applications.

Example 1

Given fixed positive integers m and n, let $M_{m n}$ denote the set of all $m \times n$ matrices with real number entries. Then $M_{m n}$ is a vector space with the usual operations of addition of matrices and multiplication of matrices by scalars (real numbers). That is, these operations satisfy properties (a)–(h) ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
