Subspace - in Mathematics

In Mathematics

  • Euclidean subspace, in linear algebra, a set of vectors in n-dimensional Euclidean space that is closed under addition and scalar multiplication
  • Linear subspace, in linear algebra, a subset of a vector space that is closed under addition and scalar multiplication
  • Affine subspace, linear manifold or linear variety, is a geometric structure that generalizes the affine properties of Euclidean space. It is a subset of a vector space closed under affine combinations of vectors in the space.
  • Subspace topology, in topology and related areas of mathematics

Famous quotes containing the word mathematics:

    “Mathematics alone make us feel the limits of our intelligence. For we can always suppose in the case of an experiment that it is inexplicable because we don’t happen to have all the data. In mathematics we have all the data ... and yet we don’t understand. We always come back to the contemplation of our human wretchedness. What force is in relation to our will, the impenetrable opacity of mathematics is in relation to our intelligence.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “... though mathematics may teach a man how to build a bridge, it is what the Scotch Universities call the humanities, that teach him to be civil and sweet-tempered.”
    —Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
