Is the set of integers a vector space?

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-15 16:21 ID:TSBBF+3/

My friend says it's not, because he thinks vectors have to have have at least two elements, otherwise they're scalars. I say that (Z, +, *) satisfies the axioms of a vector space and that's all you need.

What does /sci/ think?

A vector needs neither magnitude nor direction.
{0} is a vector space under the usual operations + and *.
