... where x ∈ R. It is easy to see that the cosets of Q form a partition of R. In particular: 1. If x, y ∈ R and y − x ∈ Q, then x + Q = y + Q. 2. If x, y ∈ R and y − x ∈ / Q then x + Q and y + Q are disjoint. Note also that each coset x + Q is dense in R, meaning that every open interval (a, b) in R co ...

Introduction to bilinear forms
... We call a bilinear form B nondegenerate if the discriminant of B is nonzero. To be able to apply the properties of the discriminant and nondegeneracy, we must first understand orthogonality. Given vectors v, w ∈ V we say that v is orthogonal to w (denoted v⊥w) if B(v, w) = 0. We would like to descri ...

Basis (linear algebra)
Basis vector redirects here. For basis vector in the context of crystals, see crystal structure. For a more general concept in physics, see frame of reference.A set of vectors in a vector space V is called a basis, or a set of basis vectors, if the vectors are linearly independent and every vector in the vector space is a linear combination of this set. In more general terms, a basis is a linearly independent spanning set.Given a basis of a vector space V, every element of V can be expressed uniquely as a linear combination of basis vectors, whose coefficients are referred to as vector coordinates or components. A vector space can have several distinct sets of basis vectors; however each such set has the same number of elements, with this number being the dimension of the vector space.
