A vector is a mathematical object that contains both magnitude and direction. It is represented as a column of numbers, with the first number representing magnitude and subsequent numbers representing direction. The sum of the magnitude is always equal to 1, and each number in the vector represents a component of that magnitude. The direction represented by each number in the vector is given a direction value, with 0 representing north and 1-7 representing east, south, west or combinations of those directions.
The magnitude and direction values of a vector can be combined to create other vectors, such as a scalar that is the magnitude of another vector, or a bivector that is the product of two vectors.
The vector concept is useful in many fields, including physics and engineering. It is used in navigation, mapping, and other tasks where direction is important.
