Euclidean vector

Definition

In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector or simply a vector is a geometric object that has magnitude and direction. Euclidean vectors can be added and scaled to form a vector space. A vector quantity is a vector-valued physical quantity, including units of measurement and possibly a support, formulated as a directed line segment. A vector is frequently depicted graphically as an arrow connecting an initial point A with a terminal point B, and denoted by
