In mathematics and physics, a vector is an element of a vector space.For many specific vector spaces, the vectors have received specific names, which are listed below. In general, a Euclidean vector is a geometric object with both length and direction (and so is frequently represented as a ray). Such vectors can be added to each other or scaled using vector algebra. Correspondingly, an ensemble of vectors is called a vector space. These objects are the subject of linear algebra and can be characterized by their dimension.

has abstract	In mathematics and physics, a vector is an element of a vector space.For many specific vector spaces, the vectors have received specific names, which are listed below. In general, a Euclidean vector is a geometric object with both length and direction (and so is frequently represented as a ray). Such vectors can be added to each other or scaled using vector algebra. Correspondingly, an ensemble of vectors is called a vector space. These objects are the subject of linear algebra and can be characterized by their dimension. Historically, vectors were introduced in geometry and physics (typically in mechanics) before the formalization of the concept of a vector space. (In fact, the Latin word vector means "carrier".) Therefore, one often talks about vectors without specifying the vector space to which they belong. Specifically, in a Euclidean space, one considers spatial vectors, also called Euclidean vectors which are used to represent quantities that have both magnitude and direction, and may be added, subtracted and scaled (i.e. multiplied by a real number) for forming a vector space.
