Question
$V^{\prime}$ is the dual space of the vector space $V$. For a mathematician, what objects comprise $V^{\prime \prime} ?$
Step 1
In other words, $V'$ is the set of all linear maps from $V$ to the base field (usually denoted as $\mathbb{F}$, which could be the real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ or complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$, for example). Show more…
