And you could use the pythagorean theorem to figure out the actual length of this vector. However, it is important to note that nearly all arguments in linear algebra use only the axioms for a eld and so are valid for any eld, which is why shall use a general eld kfor most of the course. And as we study more and more linear algebra, were going to start extending these to multiple dimensions. It says, linear algebra done right by sheldon axler. Vector in a threedimensional space any vector can be expressed as where, are unit vectors, and are scalars. Linear vector space the vector spaces of quantum mechanics are like the ordinary threedimensional spaces of vectors from introductory physics. A vector space is a nonempty set v of objects, called vectors, on which are defined two operations, called addition and multiplication by scalars real numbers. At this point lecture finally reaches the fundamental topic of linear algebra vector spaces. It is not a vector space since addition of two matrices of unequal sizes is not defined, and thus the set fails to satisfy the closure condition.
