Definition of linear combination of vectors

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

A linear combination of vectors $v_1,\ldots,v_k$ over $\mathbb F$ is a vector $c_1v_1+\cdots+c_kv_k$ with scalars $c_i\in\mathbb F$. The set of all such combinations is their span. The coefficients may be zero or negative; over $\mathbb C$, they may also be nonreal.
