An evaluation map is a specific type of linear functional that assesses a functional at a particular point in a vector space. It takes an element from the dual space and evaluates it on a given vector, essentially translating the abstract notion of linear functionals into concrete computations. This concept is fundamental for understanding how functionals interact with vectors in dual spaces and provides insights into the structure and properties of these spaces.
congrats on reading the definition of Evaluation Map. now let's actually learn it.
