The original example of a vector space is the following. For any [[Positive number|positive]] [[integer]] ''n'', the [[Set (mathematics)|set]] of all ''n''-tuples of elements of ''F'' forms an ''n''-dimensional vector space over ''F'' sometimes called ''[[coordinate space]]'' and denoted ''F''<sup>''n''</sup>. An element of ''F''<sup>''n''</sup> is written
