I read about it and did some googling, but didn’t really understand it. I was hoping someone here could break it down for me. I’d appreciate both examples and definitions on the terms, as well as of course, an explanation.
In: Mathematics
As the formal definition of vectors and scalars have already been mentioned, I’m going to give an easy example.
Vectors can be used to classify things. All kinds of things. Let’s say you want to sell a house. Criteria for advertising are location, size, age, price.
In this model, any House can be described with a vector.
Also, this is an example where dimensions higher than 3 pop up. Our house has 4 parameters, so it’s a 4 dimensional vector.
