1. A linear space is defined as follows. Let F be a scalar field, e.g. the real numbers.Let X be a nonempty set. Given two mappings: addition mapping X X intoitself, and scalar multiplication mapping F X into X such that the conditionsbelow hold, X is called a linear space over F .
(a) x1 + x2 = x2 + x1 x1, x2 X (commutativity of addition)(b) x1 + (x2 + x3) = (x1 + x2) + x3 x1, x2, x3 X (associativity of addition)(c) There is a unique element 0 of X such that 0 + x = x x X. (existence of
additive identity)
(d) For every x X, there is a unique element x of X such that x + x = 0.(existence of additive inverse)
(e) (x) = ()x , F, x X (associativity of scalar multiplication)(f) There is a unique element 1 F such that 1x = x x X. (existence of
multiplicative identity)
(g) There is a unique element 0 F such that 0x = 0 x X. (existence of zeroelement)
(h) (x1 + x2) = x1 + x2 F, x1, x2 X (distributivity of multiplicationover addition)
(i) ( + )x = x + x , F, x X (distributivity of addition overmultiplication)
2. A norm is a real-valued function defined on a linear spaceX over a field F , satisfyingthe conditions below. For x X, x is called the norm of x.Nonnegativity x 0 x X.Definiteness x = 0 if and only if x = 0.Homogeneity x = ||x F, x X.Triangle Inequality x+ y x+ y x, y X.
3. An inner product on a complex linear space X is a mapping from X X to thefield F of the complex numbers, satisfying the following.
Positive Definiteness (x, x) > 0 for all nonzero x X.Additivity (x+ y, z) = (x, z) + (y, z) x, y, z X.Symmetry (x, y) = (y, x) x, y X.Homogeneity (x, y) = (x, y) F, x, y X.

Note that, if F is instead the reals, then the symmetry condition becomes (x, y) =(y, x) x, y X.
4. Comments
An inner product generates a norm x = (x, x)1/2.The Schwarz Inequality states that |(x, y)| xy x, y X.
5. Examples of Inner Products
(a) The usual inner product on Rn is (x, y) =n
i=1 xiyi.
(b) The usual inner product on Cn is (x, y) =n
i=1 xiyi.
(c) An inner product on the space of continuous complex-valued functions on theinterval [0, 1] can be defined by (x, y) =
10 x(t)y(t)dt.
(d) An inner product on the space of sequences of complex numbers satisfyingi=1 |xi|2
