| | To qualify as a vector space, a set \(V\) and its associated operations of addition (\(+\)) and multiplication/scaling (\(\cdot\)) must adhere to the below: Associativity # \begin{equation} \mathbf{u}+(\mathbf{v}+\mathbf{w}) = (\mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v}) + \mathbf{w} \end{equation} Commutivity # \begin{equation} \mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v} = \mathbf{v} + \mathbf{u} \end{equation} Identity of Addition # There exists and element \(\mathbf{0}\,\in\,V\), called the zero vector, such that \(\mathbf{v} + \mathbf{0} ... |
