vector space
<mathematics> An additive group on which some (scalar) field has an
associative multiplicative action which distributes over the addition of the
vector space and respects the addition of the (scalar) field: for vectors u, v
and scalars h, k; h(u+v) = hu + hv; (h+k)u = hu + ku; (hk)u = h(ku).
