Affine Spaces
  • is a type of mathematical space
  • is a geometric structure that generalizes some of the properties of Euclidean Spaces in such a way that these are independent of the concepts of distance and measure of angles, keeping only the properties related to parallelism and ratio of lengths for parallel line segments
    • in an affine space, there is no distinguished point that serves as an origin
    • an affine space is nothing more than a vector space whose origin (zero vector) we try to forget about, by adding translations to the linear maps
