Row and Column Vectors
• column vector
• row vector
• n-dimensionalcolumn vector
kshum ENGG2013 2
n
A list of n numbers written vertically
Convention: a vector isby default a column vectorin ENGG2013.
Convention: The componentsin a vector are sometimecalled “scalar”.

Mathematical Notation
• The set of all 2-D vectors with real numbers as components is denoted by
• The set of all 3-D vectors with real numbers as components is denoted by
• The set of all n-D vectors with real numbers as components:
kshum ENGG2013 9
Equality for vectors...
• … is just equality in each component• Examples
kshum ENGG2013 10
Vector addition …
• … is just component-wise addition
kshum ENGG2013 11
But has no meaning.
Scalar Multiplication
• Multiply each component by the scalar constant.• Interpreted as lengthening, or shortening the
vector, but keeping the same direction.

Dot product
• A.k.a. scalar product, or inner product.• For 2-D vector,
• It measures the “angle” between two vectors.– The dot product of two vectors is zero if the two
vectors are perpendicular
kshum ENGG2013 13
Dot product in general
• For n-dimensional vectors in general, we define the dot product as
• Example
kshum ENGG2013 14
Two n-dim vectors aresaid to be perpendicular,or orthogonal, if their dot productis equal to 0.
Simple properties
kshum ENGG2013 15
For any two vectors u, v and w of the same dimension, and constants c and d.
Matrix-vector multiplication
• Given an mn matrix A, and an n-dimensional vector x, the product of A and x
is an m-dimensional vector defined as
kshum ENGG2013 16
For double subscripts,the first subscript is therow index and the secondis the column index
Just compute dot products m times
kshum ENGG2013 17
Dot product of the first row in the matrix and the column vector
Dot product of the second row in the matrix and the column vector
Dot product of the last row in the matrix and the column vector
