Introdution to Vector

Euclidean vector, a geometric entity endowed with both length and direction; an element of a Euclidean vector space. In physics, euclidean vectors are used to represent physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction, such as force, in contrast to scalar quantities, which have no direction. Vector product, or cross product, an operation on two vectors in a three-dimensional Euclidean space, producing a third three-dimensional Euclidean vector The vector part of a quaternion, a term used in 19th century mathematical literature on quaternions Burgers vector, a vector that represents the magnitude and direction of the lattice distortion of dislocation in a crystal lattice Displacement vector, a vector that specifies the change in position of a point relative to a previous position Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector, a vector used chiefly to describe the shape and orientation of the orbit of one astronomical body around another Vector bundle, a topological construction which makes precise the idea of a family of vector spaces parameterized by another space Vector calculus, a branch of mathematics concerned with differentiation and integration of vector fields Vector Analysis, a free, online book on vector calculus first published in 1901 by Edwin Bidwell Wilson Vector decomposition, refers to decomposing a vector of Rn to several vectors, each linearly independent Vector differential, or del, is a vector differential operator represented by the nabla symbol: Vector boson, a boson with the spin quantum number equal to 1 Vector measure, a function defined on a family of sets and taking vector values satisfying certain properties Vector meson, a meson with total spin 1 and odd parity Vector quantization, a quantization technique used in signal processing
