The document discusses vector spaces and related concepts. It begins by defining a vector space as a non-empty set V with defined operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication that satisfy certain axioms. Examples of vector spaces include Rn and the set of m×n matrices. A subspace is a subset of a vector space that is also a vector space under the defined operations. Properties of subspaces and examples are provided. Linear combinations, linear independence, spanning sets, and the span of a set of vectors are then defined and explained.
