Scalar multiplication is the process of multiplying a scalar to an element in a set.
constituents A set \(V\) Some \(\lambda \in \mathbb{F}\) Each \(v \in V\) requirements scalar multiplication is defined by a function that results in \(\lambda v \in V\) (maps back to the space!) to each \(\lambda \in \mathbb{F}\) and each \(v \in V\).
additional information See also scalar multiplication in \(\mathbb{F}^n\).
