Homework Statement
Say you've been given vectors v1, v2 and v3.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
How do I construct a matrix out of these three vectors? Am I to use the given vectors as columns or rows in a matrix? When does this matter and when does it not? This may be a stupid question, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer. My textbook constructs matrices in both ways, but I'm never clear as to why they construct them as columns or rows. Does it depend entirely on the context and goal of the question? If there's a clear answer for this, I'd appreciate it, thanks.
