Trivial or Zero Vector Space
The simplest example of a vector space is the trivial one: {0}, which contains only the zero vector (see axiom 3 of vector spaces). Both vector addition and scalar multiplication are trivial. A basis for this vector space is the empty set, so that {0} is the 0-dimensional vector space over F. Every vector space over F contains a subspace isomorphic to this one.
Do not confuse this space with the null space of a linear operator F, which is the kernel of F.

Famous quotes containing the words trivial and/or space:
“Men of genius are not quick judges of character. Deep thinking and high imagining blunt that trivial instinct by which you and I size people up.”
—Max Beerbohm (1872–1956)
“Time in his little cinema of the heart
Giving a première to Hate and Pain;
And Space urbanely keeping us apart.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
