Abstract
We present Mathematica tools for proving or disproving whether a set of objects constitutes a vector space. When necessary axioms are upheld, the relationships between the variables are presented. When the axioms fail, intuitive counterexamples are shown. A number of different kinds of vectors are demonstrated, with varying types of vector addition and scalar multiplication as well. All of the calculations are performed in an automated fashion.
