For our purposes we will think of a vector as a mathematical representation of a physical entity which has both magnitude and direction in a 3d space. If t is a linear transformation, then t0 must be 0. In our discussions we will give concrete examples as often as possible, and use the general properties we have shown about vector spaces to motivate results.
