Is there any difference between a vector subspace and a linear manifold.
Paul Halmos in Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces calls them the same thing.
Hamburger and Grimshaw in Linear Trasforms in n Dimensional Vector Space does not use the word subspce at all.
Planet Math says a Linear Manifold is a Linear Subspace possibly moved from the origin ( surely incorrect if it is a vector space ).
I assume the first source is correct, the second just uses a different name and the third is incorrect.
Is this so.
Thanks. Matheeinste
