Unit 1 - Vector Spaces

Types of Vector Spaces

Binary Operation: Must satisfy closure.

*Semi-Group (S, ): Must satisfy closure & associativity.

(Z, +) (Z, -) (R, x) (Pn(x), +)→ Semigroups

($Z^+$, -) ($P_n$(x), x)→ Not semigroups [No closure]

*Group (G, ): Must satisfy closure, associativity, existence of identity element & existence of inverse.

(Z, +) (R, +) (R - {0}, x) ($M_{2x2}$, +) ($M_{2x2}$ (Non-singular matrices), x)→ Groups

(R, x) (Z, x) (W, +) → Not groups [No inverse]

(N, +) → Not a group [No identity element]

*Abelian Group (G, ): Must satisfy closure, associativity, existence of identity element, existence of inverse & commutativity.

($M_{2x2}$, x) → Not an abelian group [ A, B ∈ $M_{2x2}$ ; A x B ≠ B x A]

*Ring (R, +, ): Must satisfy
