Abstract
We denote by \(\mathbb R ^n\) the set of points with n real coordinates. In this text we will often represent functions abstractly by saying how many numbers go into the function and how many come out. So, if we write \( f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^{m},\) we mean f is a function whose input is a point with n coordinates and whose output is a point with m coordinates.
