Linear algebra MOC

Category of vector spaces

The category of vector spaces over a field is an example of a concrete category, that is to say its objects are sets with additional structure and its morphisms are mappings that preserve that structure. In this case, each object is a Vector space and each of its morphisms is a Linear map — a mapping which preserves scalar multiplication and vector addition. It is identical to [[Category of left modules|]], the different name is just for emphasis.

Matrix multiplication algebra as a category.

Universal constructions

Skeleton

The canonical skeleton category is the restriction to objects of the form for some Cardinal . This of course assumes AC.
