Question: Suppose that instead of defining vectors first, we had begun by defining one-forms, aided by pictures like Fig. 3.4. Then we could have introduced vectors

Suppose that instead of defining vectors first, we had begun by defining one-forms, aided by pictures like Fig. 3.4. Then we could have introduced vectors as linear realvalued functions of one-forms, and defined vector algebra by the analogs of Eqs. (3.6a) and (3.6b) (i.e. by exchanging arrows for tildes). Prove that, so defined, vectors form a vector space. This is another example of the duality between vectors and one-forms?
