Vector spaces and subspaces

Vector spaces and subspaces are the foundation of linear algebra, defining the algebraic structure where vectors can be added and scaled. Mastering the axioms, examples such as ℝⁿ, function spaces, and polynomial spaces, and recognising subspace criteria (non‑empty, closed under addition and scalar multiplication) is essential for solving linear systems, proving linear dependence, and analysing linear…
