In Mathematics
- Euclidean subspace, in linear algebra, a set of vectors in n-dimensional Euclidean space that is closed under addition and scalar multiplication
- Linear subspace, in linear algebra, a subset of a vector space that is closed under addition and scalar multiplication
- Affine subspace, linear manifold or linear variety, is a geometric structure that generalizes the affine properties of Euclidean space. It is a subset of a vector space closed under affine combinations of vectors in the space.
- Subspace topology, in topology and related areas of mathematics

Famous quotes containing the word mathematics:
“In mathematics he was greater
Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
For he, by geometric scale,
Could take the size of pots of ale;
Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
If bread and butter wanted weight;
And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
The clock doth strike, by algebra.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
