linear map          (Or "linear transformation") A {function} from a       {vector space} to a vector space which respects the {additive}       and {multiplicative} structures of the two: that is, for any       two {vectors}, u, v, in the source vector space and any       scalar, k, in the {field} over which it is a vector space, a       linear map f satisfies f(u+kv) = f(u) + kf(v).          (1996-09-30)
