In physics, vector is any quantity that is only fully determined when a real number is given that measures it in a given unit, direction and direction.
in geometry, vector is a ray that goes from the focus or one of the foci of a curve to any point on the same curve.
In math, in the Vector Calculus area, vector is the oriented line segment. It is the set of n quantities that depend on an n-dimensional coordinate system and that change according to well-defined laws when the system is changed.
in astronomy
, vector is a radius that indicates the variable distance from the center of the Sun to the center of a planet.In the military area, vector refers to a vehicle that carries explosive charge, more specifically nuclear.
In Computer Science, in the programming area, vector is a data structure where you store an ordered set of data of the same type and refer to each of them through an index. They are also called homogeneous data structure.
vector logo
Vector logos are logos created with vectorized images, that is, with images created in computer graphics, which can be expanded indefinitely without losing their definitional quality.
The vectorized image is drawn using straight lines and curves calculated with mathematical formulas, which allows you to always maintain the proper proportions without losing any detail. The vector image allows you to create images and logos with the highest quality.
