If $X$ is a vector space and if both $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$ are vector subspaces over $X$ such that $X_{1} \cap X_{2} = \{0\}$, then it is possible to form another vector subspace which consists of all vectors of the form $x_{1} + x_{2}$ with $x_{1}\in X_{1}$ and $x_{2} \in X_{2}$. This is called th...
