The interplay of columns and rows is the heart of linear algebra. Vector spaces, duals and endomorphisms a real vector space v is a set equipped with an additive operation which is commutative and associative, has a zero element 0 and has an additive inverse vfor any v2v so v is an abelian group under addition. When we restrict the scalars to real numbers we generally call the vector space a real vector space and when we allow the scalars to be complex numbers we generally call the vector space a complex.
