Vector

1. Abstract

An ordered collection of Scalars : the ordered nature of this collection attributes the direction to vectors.

The size of this collection is the dimension of the vector : a vector generalizes into a Tensor.

Accessing a particular element of a tensor is termed as indexing into it.

2. Operations

  • vector-vector addition
  • scalar-vector multiplication
  • dot product
  • cross product
  • matrix vector multiplication
    • this is an oriented collection of dot-products
  • a more detailed expansion on the relevant math for vectors (and matrices and tensors) will be populated in here from the paper : The Matrix Calculus you need for Deep Learning
