Definition df-lvec 19804
Description: Define the class of all left vector spaces. A left vector space over a division ring is an Abelian group (vectors) together with a division ring (scalars) and a left scalar product connecting them. Some authors call this a "left module over a division ring", reserving "vector space" for those where the division ring is commutative, i.e., is a field. (Contributed by NM, 11-Nov-2013.)
