vector is an element of 2 dimensional plane.

row vector-matrix has one row

column vector- matrix has one column
skew symmetric if A transpose=-A,principal diagonal=0
row equivalent = row operations
rank is no ofnon zero rows in echleon form
a and a transpose has same rank..r<=min(m,n)
A inverse= adjA/det A

VECTOR SPACE
R n n dimensional space defined as set of all ordered n tuples.
an n tuple x,x2,x3... can be defined as point in Rn with xi s as
coordinates
an n tuple x1,x2,x3 ..can be defined as vector in Rn with xi s as
components.
PROPERTIES
..addition
1.Closure property- u1+v1,u2+v2,... belongs to Real numbers.
2.associative property- u+(v+w)=(u+v)+w
3.identity property- all elements of n tuple should be zero. e=0+u=u,e=0+v=v.
4.inverse property- for all u there exists u inverse such that u+uinverse=0.
5.commutative property- u+v=v+u.
..scalar multiplication
6.closure property- u belongs to Rn, alpha belongs to R, alphaU belongs to Rn.
7.Distributive property of scalar multiplication over vector addition-
alpha(u+v)=alphau+alphav.
8.Distributive property of vector addition over scalar multiplication-
(alpha+beta)u.
9.Assosciative property- Alpha(betaU)=(Alphabeta)U
10.1*u=u.

abelian group of addition- first five properties under addition are defined.
