Vector spaces are one of the fundamental objects you study in abstract algebra. They are a significant generalization of the 2- and 3-dimensional vectors you study in science. In this lesson we talk about the definition of a vector space and give a few surprising examples.

You explained in 7 minutes what my professor couldn't explain in a whole semester during two hours lectures.

But she might be learning it in a way like you did: hearing those boring lectures. Yes, sometimes it is, but by that a lecturer wants you to start doing something by yourself - to put more efforts.

@@philosophyversuslogic Nah. It's just hard to get people who are really good at somethng AND also good at explaining/teaching it, WITH the inuition to understand the pain points from the point of view of the student. Truth is students are given textbooks, boring lectures, teachers who don't have the time or ability to explain things, and no time to properly learn. The vast majority of professors are simply doing a job they must do (ie. get through x amount of material in y amount of time). You are excusing their utter dogshit "teaching" practices. Yes, you absolutely need to learn on your own, but having a bad teacher with poor explanations WAISTING YOUR TIME is FORCING you to learn on your own in a way that is not just unoptmial, but harmful to the student. Imagine theres 2 scenarios: #1 Student sits in a 2 hour lecture explaining 10 concepts in which 10% is retained (1 concept), ends up spending the same amount of time if not more trying to understand the remaining 9. The student is confused, and thus must spend an exhuberent amount of time trying to understand. #2 Student sits in a 1 hour lecture in which 2 core concepts are explained WELL, and 8 oncepts are very lightly brushed up on, with recommendations/material offered for the student to study outside of class.

A physicist and a mathematician are in a congress and the talk goes like: "If we consider an 8 dimensional sphere, we can show that the radio..." The physicist, skeptical, ask the mathematician: - "Do you believe such nonsense about 8 dimensional spaces?" - "Sure, of course" - "So.. how do you "see" an 8 dimensional sphere?" - "Easy. I imagine a N dimensional sphere, and then set N equals 8".

Thank yooooo!!!! I'm taking linear algebra with a midterm test in 2 days. The book throws all these rules about vector spaces but never does it take the time to explain or help visualize WHAT a vector space actually represents. I can memorize the rules but I just felt so lost.... But this really helped me.
