II. Linear Geometry of n-Space Vectors in Space Length and Angle Measures II.1. Vectors in Space Group Isomorphism Analytic Geometry Exercises 1.II.1. II.2. Length and Angle Measures Exercises 1.II.2. * See Apostol, Chap 1. Descartes: Points in plane ~ ( a1 , a2 ), points in space ~ ( a1 , a2 , a3 ). Cayley, Grassmann: Points in n-space ~ n-tuples ~ ( a1 , a2 , …, an ) ? Rn. Bound vector: a = ( a1 , a2 , …, an ) = arrow from origin to point a. Vector algebra in Rn : For all a, b, c ? Rn and α? R, 1. Vector equality: a = b ? ai = bi ? i = 1, …, n. 2. V
