What is space? In this video, we learn about the many different things that we might call "space". We come up with both a geometric and an algebraic definition, and the discussion also leads us to the important concept of subspaces.
Sorry for how long this video took to make! I mentioned in a community post that I had personal things interfering with making this video, but even after that was out of the way, this video was really hard to make. I kept rewriting parts of it to be less confusing, and a few changes I made required drastic modifications to whole video (for example, I was originally going to define linear combinations here but then decided to wait until the next video, but I had used linear combinations in the rest of this video so I had to remove all references to them). Hopefully the video is worth the wait.
This video is a part of "From Zero to Geo", a series where we formulate geometric algebra, an incredibly powerful branch of mathematics, from the ground up. Full playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVuwZXwFua-0Ks3rRS4tIkswgUmDLqqRy
