vector

nom

1. 1

   A directed quantity, one with both magnitude and direction; the signed difference between two points.

   Velocity is a vector defined by the speed of an object and its direction.

   As examples of vector quantities may be mentioned the distance between any two given points, a velocity, a force, an acceleration, angular velocity, intensity of magnetization flux of heat.

2. 2

   A directed quantity, one with both magnitude and direction; the signed difference between two points. Any member of a (generalized) vector space.

   The vectors in #123;#92;mathbbQ#125;#91;X#93; are the single-variable polynomials with rational coefficients: one is #92;textstylex#123;42#125;#43;#92;frac1#123;137#125;x-1.

3. 3

   A directed quantity, one with both magnitude and direction; the signed difference between two points. An ordered tuple, originally one representing a directed quantity, but by extension any one-dimensional matrix.

   Computers store many types of data as vectors for ease of processing.

   A row vector is a matrix whose M dimension is 1. In fact, a row vector is a matrix consisting of a single row, and a column vector a matrix consisting of a single column.

   Color is stored as a vector attribute (R, G, B).

   GPU cores are essentially vector-processing units, capable of applying the same instruction on a large collection of operands.

4. 4

   A directed quantity, one with both magnitude and direction; the signed difference between two points. A chosen course or direction for motion, as of an aircraft.

   I was told to fly out on a vector of 100 degrees to meet a strong plot of aircraft 30 miles from the coast.

5. 5

   A kind of dynamically resizable array.

   To create a vector of students in a class, you will want the vector to be large enough […]

6. 6

   A kind of dynamically resizable array. A memory address containing the address of a code entry point, usually one which is part of a table and often one that is dereferenced and jumped to during the execution of an interrupt.

7. 7

   A kind of dynamically resizable array. A graphical representation using outlines; vector graphics.

   a vector image, vector graphics

8. 8

   A carrier of a disease-causing agent. A DNA molecule used to carry genetic information from one organism into another.

9. 9

   A carrier of a disease-causing agent. A person or entity that passes along an urban legend or other meme.

   These days, their primary job is to insist that Facebook is a fun place to share baby photos and sell old couches, not a vector for hate speech, misinformation, and violent extremist propaganda.

10. 10

    A carrier of a disease-causing agent. A recurring psychosocial issue that stimulates growth and development in the personality.

11. 11

    Forces, developments, phenomena, processes, systems, etc. which influence the trajectory of history (e.g. imperialism)

verbe

1. 1

   To set (particularly an aircraft) on a course toward a selected point.

   […] if love is vectored toward an object and Elinor's here flies toward Marianne, Marianne's in turn toward Willoughby.

2. 2

   To redirect to a vector, or code entry point.
