View on Github →feat(linear_algebra/affine_space/finite_dimensional): more lemmas (#4389)
Add more lemmas concerning dimensions of affine spans of finite
families of points. In particular, various forms of the lemma that n + 1
points are affinely independent if and only if their vector_span
has
dimension n
(or equivalently, at least n
). With suitable
definitions, this is equivalent to saying that three points are
affinely independent or collinear, four are affinely independent or
coplanar, etc., thus preparing for giving a definition of collinear
(for any set of points in an affine space for a vector space) in terms
of dimension and proving some basic properties of it including
relating it to affine independence.
