We've worked with -dimensional vectors in .
What if we allow the entries of an -dimensional vector to be complex? That is:
where each , i.e., each is a complex number.
Note: This includes the case where the are real since real numbers are a subset of complex numbers .
For example:
No problem! We can let the scalars that we multiply the vectors by also be complex as well i.e., , where .
All our ideas around addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication that we've learned for carry over.
We call the set of all -dimensional vectors with complex entries .
So:
