SoCal Mega-Triangle Series # 34 - Vectors Traditional Cache

A vector is a geometric entity characterized by a magnitude (in mathematics a number, in physics a number times a unit) and a direction. In rigorous mathematical treatments, a vector is defined as a directed line segment, or arrow, in a Euclidean space. When it becomes necessary to distinguish it from vectors as defined elsewhere, this is sometimes referred to as a geometric, spatial, or Euclidean vector.

In some contexts, one thinks of a vector as possessing a definite initial point and terminal point. For disambiguation, this is called a bound vector. By contrast, if one is interested only in the magnitude and direction of the vector—and does not think of it as situated at any particular location—then it is called a free vector.
