OEF Vector space definition
--- Introduction ---
This module currently contains 13 exercises on the definition of vector spaces.
Different structures are proposed in each case; up to you to determine whether it is
really a vector space.
See also the collections of exercises on
vector spaces in general or
definition of subspaces.
