Various Spaces • Linear vector space: scalars and vectors • Affine space adds points • Euclidean spaces add distance
Scalars • Scalar field: ordinary (integer, real, complex, etc.) numbers and the operations on them - • Fundamental scalar operations: addition (+) and multiplication ( ).
Scalar (II) • Associative: • Commutative: • Distributive:
Scalar (III) • Additive identity (0) and multiplicative identity (1) • Additive inverse( ) and multiplicative inverse( )
Vector Spaces • A vector space contains scalars and vectors • Vector addition (associative) • Zero vector
Scalar-vector Multiplication • Distributive
Linear Combination • Linearly independent • The greatest number of linearly independent vectors that we can find in a space gives the dimension of the space. If a vector space has dimension n, any set of n linearly independent vectors form a basis.
Affine Spaces • Affine space: scalars, vectors, points • Point-point subtraction yields a vector. • Coordinate systems with/without a particular reference point:
Euclidean Spaces • Euclidean spaces add the concept of “distance,” and thus the length of a vector. • Inner product
Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization • Orthonormal basis: each vector has unit length and is orthogonal to each other
