1. Vector spaces
1.1. Let (V, +, ∗, 0) be an n-dimensional C vector space. Note that (V, +, ∗, 0) is also an R-vector
space; what is the dimension of this real vector space?
1.2. Let W be a vector space over an infinite field F . Show that W is not a union of finitely
many subspaces.
proper subspace v=R^n
1.3. Let S be any finite subset of Rn . Show that there is a linear transformation l : V → R, such
that l(s) ̸= 0, for all s ∈ S.

1.4. Assume that V is the subspace of matrices Mn×m (R) such that sum of odd indexed columns
is the sum of even indexed columns. For any matrix M ∈ Mn×m (R), and N ∈ V , show that
MN ∈ V .
1.5. What is the dimension of the smallest non-zero subspace V of M7×6 (R) such that M N ∈ V ,
for all M ∈ M7×7 (R) and N ∈ M7×6 (R).

1.6. Let G be an abelian group. Let X be the set of group homomorphisms from G to C× . Note
that X is a subset of the complex valued functions on G, to be denoted by C(G); show that X is
a linearly independent subset of C(G).

2. Fields

Does there exist an uncountable linearly independent subset of C(t)–the field of rational func-
tions in one variable?
