Abstract
The present chapter is concerned with the basic setting for a great deal of modern mathematical analysis and applied mathematics: the linear or vector space. In a linear space, addition, subtraction, magnification and contraction of elements are all possible, and sometimes even multiplication between elements is possible. In what follows we will use the standard terminology employed by mathematicians, although not in any subtle way. In this way the standard mathematical language should become familiar, and will be part of the reader’s vocabulary.
