User:Jim.belk/Draft:Column vector

In linear algebra, a column vector is a matrix with a single column:

${\textbf {x}}={\begin{bmatrix}x_{1}\\x_{2}\\\vdots \\x_{m}\end{bmatrix}}$

Though a column vector can be interpreted as a spatial vector with magnitude and direction, it Column vectors are often referred to as The set (mathematics) of all column vectors having n components is the Euclidean space Rⁿ. This is the simplest example of a vector space.

Because of the conventions used for matrix multiplication, column
