  linear space
  
     <mathematics> A vector space where all linear combinations
     of elements are also elements of the space.  This is easy for
     spaces of numbers but not for a space of functions.  Roughly,
     this is to say that multiplication by numbers, and addition of
     elements is defined in the space.
