2. Introduction
In linear algebra, an inner product space is vector space with
additional structure called inner product. This additional structure
associates each pair of vectors in the space with a scalar quantity
know as the inner product of vectors. Inner products allow the
rigorous introduction of intuitive geometrical notions such as the
length of a vector or angle between two vectors. Inner product
space generalize Euclidean space (in which the inner product is the
det product, also known as scalar product) to vector spaces of any
(possibility infinite) functional analysis.

3. Inner Product Space
Let V be a vector space over F. An inner product on V is a function
V ?V to f that assign every ordered pair of vectors x, y in V, to a
scalar in F, denoted by x, y , in such a way that
(i) x y,z x,z y,z x,y,z V ? ? ? ? ?
(ii) cx,y c x,y c F ? ? ? and x, y ? V
(iii) x,y y,x x,y V ? ? ?
(iv) x,x 0 if x 0 ??
Then the vector space V is said to be inner product space with
respect to the specified inner product defined on it.
Value Addition : Note
1. (i) and (ii) are equivalent to
x y, z x,z y,z , F, x,y,z V ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
2. (i) and (ii) imply inner product is linear in Ist component,
property (1) and (ii) Jointly is called linearly property, (iii) is
called conjugate symmetry, (iv) is called non-negative.
