A vector is what is needed to "carry" the point A to the point B; the Latin word vector means "carrier". [4] It was first used by 18th century astronomers investigating planetary revolution around the Sun. [5] The magnitude of the vector is the distance between the two points, and the direction refers to the direction of displacement from A to B.
In linear algebra, a column vector with elements is an matrix [1] consisting of a single column of entries, for example, = [].. Similarly, a row vector is a matrix for some , consisting of a single row of entries, = […]. (Throughout this article, boldface is used for both row and column vectors.)
In linear algebra, a coordinate vector is a representation of a vector as an ordered list of numbers (a tuple) that describes the vector in terms of a particular ordered basis. [1]
The elements of a polytope can be considered according to either their own dimensionality or how many dimensions "down" they are from the body.

The curl of a vector field F, denoted by curl F, or , or rot F, is an operator that maps C k functions in R 3 to C k−1 functions in R 3, and in particular, it maps continuously differentiable functions R 3 → R 3 to continuous functions R 3 → R 3.
