Answer:
Parallelogram law, the ability to measure angle between two vectors and in particular, the
concept of perpendicularity make the euclidean space quite a special type of a vector space.
Essentially all these are consequences of the dot product. Thus, it makes sense to look for
operations which share the basic properties of the dot product. In this section we shall
briefly discuss this.
Definition 6.1 Let V be a vector space. By an inner product on V we mean a binary
operation, which associates a scalar say hu, vi for each pair of vectors u, v) in V, satisfying
the following properties for all u, v, w in V and α, β any scalar. (Let “−” denote the complex
conjugate of a complex number.)
(1) hu, vi = hv, ui (Hermitian property or conjugate symmetry);
(2) hu, αv + βwi = αhu, vi + βhu, wi (sesquilinearity);
(3) hv, vi > 0 if v 6= 0 (positivity).
A vector space with an inner product is called an inner product space.
