Vectors
Vectors[d]
represents the domain of vectors of dimension d.
Vectors[d,dom]
represents the domain of vectors of dimension d, with components in the domain dom.
Details
- A valid dimension specification d in Vectors[d,dom] is any positive integer. It is also possible to work with symbolic dimension specifications.
- A valid component domain specification dom in Vectors[d,dom] is either Reals or Complexes.
- The domain Vectors[d] is automatically converted into Vectors[d,Complexes].

Properties & Relations (3)
Vectors can also be defined using Arrays with rank 1. These two assumptions are equivalent:
Possible Issues (4)
Addition of symbolic and explicit vectors is determined by the Listable attribute of Plus:
Hence, listability will in general affect operations that simultaneously involve both symbolic and explicit vectors.
The zero vector may be represented as 0 in symbolic computations:
{} is interpreted in a special way in Element, such that it returns True irrespectively of the domain used:
