Definition:Scalar/R-Algebraic Structure

Definition
Let $\struct {S, *_1, *_2, \ldots, *_n, \circ}_R$ be an $R$-algebraic structure with $n$ operations, where:


 * $\struct {S, *_1, *_2, \ldots, *_n}$ is an algebraic structure with $n$ operations


 * $\struct {R, +_R, \times_R}$ is the scalar ring of $\struct {S, *_1, *_2, \ldots, *_n, \circ}_R$.

The elements of the scalar ring $\struct {R, +_R, \times_R}$ are called scalars.
