Vector
Vector is a
specific mathematical structure. It has numerous physical and geometric applications,
which result mainly from its ability to represent magnitude and direction simultaneously.
Vector are quite useful in simplifying problems from three-dimensional
geometry. So, “A vector is a quantity or
phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction”
also the term vector also denotes the mathematical or geometrical
representation of such a quantity.
For
example, Velocity has both speed and a direction, hence it is conveniently
expressed as a vector.
The importance of vector in
business mathematics
Vector is a
division of mathematics involving Differentiation
and Integration of vector fields in
a three dimensional Euclidean space.
In business
mathematics vector is important because there are wide range of application of
vector exist in business mathematics such as:
#1.Geometry
#2.Mechanics
#3.Physics
#4.Describing lines
#5.Describing surfaces
#6.Describing volume
#7.Differentiation
#8.Integration
That’s why
vector is important in business mathematics
