From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

In mathematics and physics, a vector is a generalization of a single number. It may denote a vector quantity, i.e., physical quantity that cannot be expressed by a single scalar quantity. The term may also be used to refer to elements of vector spaces, that can be added together and multiplied ("scaled") by scalars. In some contexts, vectors are tuples, which are finite sequences of a fixed length.
