Mission prelude: the Mathlib vocabulary the milestones use

Definition

linear-algebraprelude

A prelude module for the mission. It carries no mathematical content of its own; it exists so that the milestone statements can name the Mathlib notions Hefferon's book uses -- bases, inner product spaces and orthogonal complements, and the characteristic polynomial of a matrix.

Definition code
import Mathlib

namespace HefferonLinAlg

/-- A basis of `V` over `K` indexed by `iota`, in Hefferon's sense: an ordered
linearly independent spanning family (Two.III.1). -/
abbrev IsBasisIndexedBy (iota K V : Type*) [Field K] [AddCommGroup V] [Module K V] :=
  Module.Basis iota K V

end HefferonLinAlg

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions.
