Vector

Core Idea
A vector is a mathematical object that can represent magnitude and direction in geometry, or an ordered list of components in algebra. In programming contexts, vectors are a useful way to think about coordinates, features, embeddings, and other structured numeric data.
Role In This Blog
In Mathbong, vectors are the starting point for the linear algebra series and the bridge toward matrices, linear transformations, projections, eigenvectors, and singular value decomposition.
