- Looking for the different vector representations
Hello. I wonder about the representation of vectors, so I wanted to ask: how many different ways vectors be represented?
As far as I know two: Geometrically and Algebraically.
There is only one way to represent vectors in geometrically: arrows, however there are several or more methods to represent vectors algebraically but they are basically one dimensional of numbers. Sometimes there are mathematical symbols between the elements of the list as in 2i + 3j - 4k.
But are those all?
Can another tools be used instead of arrows for geometrical representation?
In more than 3d-space, can there be other ways?
