why definitions say F is field of scalars and V is set of Vectors????
I am learning maths on my own but not in structured way so I am just picking a topic and then trying to understand it slowly slowly and I am getting stuck every time whenever I am encountering definition or statement like above .
like what does it even mean: why we are not saying V is field of Vectors; F is set of Scalars?
more critical question is : if scalars are numbers why the fuck we dont use scalar inplace of numbers irl!
any help will be appreciated along with the structured roadmap if you have for me (I want to reach calculus level).
