Vector Spaces: Formal notions
Definitions
The definition of a vector space V, whose elements are called vectors,
involves an arbitrary field K, whose elements are called scalars.

The following notation will be used:

On the other hand, the remaining four axioms are concerned with the
‘‘action’’ of the field K of scalars on the vector space V

Linear Independence
• Let V be a vector space over a field K. The following defines
the notion of linear dependence and independence of vectors
over K. (One usually suppresses mentioning K when the field
is understood.)
