This page has been identified as a candidate for refactoring. In particular:
Split off Dimension of Double Dual
Split off Dimension of Double Dual
Until this has been finished, please leave {{refactor}} in the code.
New contributors: Refactoring is a task which is expected to be undertaken by experienced editors only. Because of the underlying complexity of the work needed, it is recommended that you do not embark on a refactoring task until you have become familiar with the structural nature of pages of $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.
Theorem
Let $G$ be an $n$-dimensional $R$-module.
Let $G^*$ be the algebraic dual of $G$.
Let $G^{**}$ be the algebraic dual of $G^*$.
Then $G^*$ and $G^{**}$ are also $n$-dimensional.
Proof
Follows directly from Product of Linear Transformations.
$\blacksquare$
