Affine SpaceLet be a Vector Space over a Field , and let be a nonempty Set. Now define addition for any Vector and element subject to the conditions - 1.
, - 2.
, - 3. For any
, there Exists a unique Vector such that . Here, , . Note that (1) is implied by (2) and (3). Then is an affine space and is called the Coefficient Field.
In an affine space, it is possible to fix a point and coordinate axis such that every point in the Space can berepresented as an -tuple of its coordinates. Every ordered pair of points and in an affine space is thenassociated with a Vector .
