Dan 2011-04-03T20:57:36Z 2011-04-03T20:57:36Z <p>Hey I have this question from Universal Algebra texts where you can see groups, rings, lattices and other structures as Universal Algebras, but I still don't have clear how vector spaces can be viewed in this way (taking into account that all the operations in an Universal Algebra are internal: i.e, from $A^n$ to $A$)</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Dan</p>
