Question

vector n.向量；矢量；带菌者vt.(无线电)导引 (1) 应变向量为一纯量。(2) 飞行员偏好向量移动地图显示。(3) 每个矢量都可以分解成协变分量或逆变分量。(4) 恐怕蚊子是疟疾的传播体。 Considering that the Latin word vector comes from the word vehere, which means "to carry," it's not surprising that the current use of the word also "carries" the same meaning. In fact, in computers, a vector is a method used to propagate a computer virus. However, the word vector is also used in various scientific areas, including mathematics, where it indicates something possessing both size and direction; and aeronautics, where it indicates a projectile's course.
