We present a few components of an algbraic proof that \mathbb{R}^2 is a vector space (using the fact that \mathbb{R} is a vector space).


Assume for all x,y,x',y' \in \mathbb{R}, (x,y) + (x',y') = (x+x',y+y').


Assert for any x,y,x',y' \in \mathbb{R},

(x,y) + (x',y') = (x+x',y+y'),
x+x' = x'+x,
y+y' = y'+y,
(x+x',y+y') = (x'+x,y'+y),
(x'+x,y'+y) = (x',y') + (x,y),
(x,y) + (x',y') = (x',y') + (x,y).


Assert for any x,y,x',y',x'',y'' \in \mathbb{R},

(x,y) + (x',y') = (x+x',y+y'),
(x+x',y+y') + (x'',y'') = ((x+x')+x'',(y+y')+y''),
((x,y) + (x',y')) + (x'',y'') = ((x+x')+x'',(y+y')+y''),
(x+x')+x'' = x+(x'+x''),
(y+y')+y'' = y+(y'+y''),
((x+x')+x'',(y+y')+y'') = (x+(x'+x''),y+(y'+y'')),
(x,y) +:(x'+x'',y'+y'') = (x+(x'+x''),y+(y'+y'')),
(x+(x'+x''),y+(y'+y'')) = (x,y) + (x'+x'', y'+y''),
(x'+x'', y'+y'') = (x',y') + (x'',y''),
((x,y) + (x',y')) + (x'',y'') = (x,y) + ((x',y') + (x'',y'')).
