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 Mmn denote the set of all m×n matrices with real number entries. Then Mmn 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) ...
