Definition

Let $\struct {K, +_K, \times_K}$ be a field.

Let $\struct {G, +_G}$ be an abelian group.

Let $\struct {G, +_G, \circ}_K$ be a unitary $K$-module.


Then $\struct {G, +_G, \circ}_K$ is a vector space over $K$ or a $K$-vector space.


That is, a vector space is a unitary module whose scalar ring is a field.
