Suppose we have a set $V$ and elements $\mathbf v_1, ..., \mathbf v_i ... \in V$
So, what can we do with elements in a vector space?
The elements of $V$ are vectors and $V$ is a space if the axioms hold
multiplication on scalars ($c$'s are scalars):
A subspace of a vector space should form a space on it's own.

For a Matrix there are Four Fundamental Subspaces:
A matrix space is also a vector space, where elements are matrices of the same dimensionality: we can multiply matrices by a scalar and can add two matrices of the same dimension.
In a function space, the "vectors" are functions:
