  1. Physics perspective
    • Vectors are Arrows pointing in space. It is defined by two properties
      1. Length
      2. Direction
  2. Computer Science Perspective

    • A vector is an ordered list (array) of number (scalars)
  3. Mathematician (geometric) Perspective: 
    • A vector will be rooted at the origin (zero), which is the center of space and root of all vectorScreenshot from 2024-02-02 16-16-16.png


Vectors are located on a coordinate system, in which Vector Multiplication and Vector Addition is performed
