Homonym: Vector (Direction)
A vector is a mathematical object that has both magnitude and direction. It is often represented as an arrow, where the length of the arrow indicates the magnitude and the direction in which it points shows the direction. Vectors are commonly used in physics and engineering to represent quantities such as force, velocity, and displacement.
In addition to their use in science, vectors are also important in computer graphics and machine learning. In computer graphics, vectors help define shapes and movements, while in machine learning, they can represent data points in high-dimensional space. Understanding vectors is essential for various applications in technology and mathematics.
