| 1. | noun | Vectors need not correspond to a physical quantity; anything can be a vector space as long as vector addition and scalar multiplication is defined. | |
| 2. | noun | A vector is a unit vector if its norm is 1. | |
| 3. | noun | The dimension of a vector space equals the largest number of its elements that can be linearly independent. | |
| 4. | noun | Every vector space has a basis. | |
| 5. | noun | Support vector machines are supervised learning models used for classification and regression analysis. | |
| 6. | noun | Mosquitoes are a vector for disease. | |
| 7. | noun | What is the difference between raster and vector graphics? | |
| 8. | noun | A force is a vector quantity so a force has both a magnitude and a direction. | |
| 9. | noun | Mathematicians and scientists call a quantity which depends on direction a vector quantity. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. | |
| 10. | noun | A vector quantity has two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. | |
| 11. | noun | When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction. | |
| 12. | noun | The gradient of a scalar-valued function of several variables is the vector which contains its partial derivatives with respect to each of its variables (when these derivatives exist). | |
| 13. | noun | "Actually, I understood everything in linear algebra until we came to vector spaces," said Tom. Mary just shook her head. | |
| 14. | noun | In algebra, abstract algebra is the study of algebraic structures. Algebraic structures include groups, rings, fields, modules, vector spaces, and lattices. | |
| 15. | noun | In mathematics, an algebra over a field is a vector space equipped with a bilinear product. |
