We also call such transformation a linear map or We also call such transformation a linear map or linear functional. The dual space of V, denoted linear functional. The dual space of V, denoted by V*, consists of the set of all linear maps from by V*, consists of the set of all linear maps from V to R, and satisfies V to R, and satisfies
