Linear Algebra Complex Representations Factoring and Complex Numbers: A Review Definition and Examples of Similarity
Recall the definitions of the complex number addition
and multiplication.
Example 2.1
For instance, and .
Handling scalar operations with those rules, all of
the operations that we've covered
for real vector spaces carry over unchanged.
Example 2.2
Matrix multiplication is the same, although the scalar arithmetic involves more
bookkeeping.
Everything else from prior chapters that we can,
we shall also carry over unchanged.
standard basisFor instance, we shall call the ordered set of vectors
the standard basis for as a vector
space over and again denote it
.
