Vector may refer to:

Mathematics and physics

• Vector (spatial), an entity defined by both magnitude and direction.
• An element in a vector space, often represented as a coordinate vector. In Mathematics, a vector space (or linear space) is a collection of objects (called vectors) that informally speaking may be scaled and added In Linear algebra, a coordinate vector is an explicit representation of a vector in an abstract vector space as an ordered list of numbers or equivalently as an
• A one-dimensional, directional matrix: a row vector or column vector
• An ordered list of numbers: a tuple. In Linear algebra, a row vector or row matrix is a 1 × n matrix, that is a matrix consisting of a single row \mathbf In Linear algebra, a column vector or column matrix is an m × 1 matrix, i In Mathematics, a tuple is a Sequence (also known as an "ordered list" of values called the components of the tuple

In Computer science an array is a Data structure consisting of a group of elements that are accessed by indexing. Vectors (or stdvector) are a C++ implementation of the Dynamic array Data structure. In Computer programming, a dope vector is a Data structure used to hold information about an Array, especially its memory layout. A vector processor, or array processor, is a CPU design where the instruction set includes operations that can perform mathematical operations on multiple data Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points lines, Curves and shapes or Polygon (s which are all based An interrupt vector is the Memory address of an Interrupt handler, or an index into an array called an Interrupt vector table or dispatch table A vector in Computing, specifically when talking about malicious code such as Viruses or worms, is the method that this code uses to propagate Vector-06C (Вектор-06Ц is a home computer that was designed and mass produced in USSR in the late 1980s In Epidemiology, a vector is an Organism that does not cause Disease itself but which transmits Infection by conveying Pathogens from For vector control of induction motors see Motor controller Vector control is any method to limit or eradicate the Mammals Birds The State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology VECTOR, also known as the Vector Institute, is a highly sophisticated biological research center in Koltsovo In Molecular biology, a vector is any vehicle used to transfer foreign genetic material into another cell A plasmid is an extra-chromosomal DNA molecule separate from the chromosomal DNA which is capable of replicating independently of the chromosomal DNA Viral vectors are a tool commonly used by molecular Biologists to deliver Genetic material into cells This process can be performed inside a living organism A cloning vector is a small DNA vehicle into which a foreign DNA fragment can be inserted An expression vector, otherwise known as an expression construct, is generally a Plasmid that is used to introduce and express a specific Gene into a target also known as Final Fantasy III for English audiences when it was first released is a Console role-playing game developed and published by Square (now --> TC --> is primarily a series of Science fiction The Chaotix are a group of Fictional characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog is a fictional character in the Battle Angel Alita and Battle Angel Alita Last Order Manga by Yukito Kishiro and its Vector Prime is the first installment of the New Jedi Order series set in the Star Wars universe In the Fictional universe of the first Transformers animated series Vector Sigma is the "mega-computer" that gives sentience ("Sparks" The following Fictional characters are staff members and denizens of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter books written by J Diclonius (meaning "double sprout" is a Genus of Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous is a Japanese Manga series created by manga author Lynn Okamoto.
