VECTOR

Vector is a term that derives from a Latin word and means "that leads . " A vector is an agent that transports something from one place to another . Its meaning, however, varies according to the context.

Vector

A vector can be used to represent a physical quantity , being defined by a module and a direction or orientation. Its geometric expression consists of line segments directed towards a certain side, resembling an arrow . The speed and strength are two examples of vector quantities.

Within this scientific field, and also of Mathematics, it is necessary to make it clear that there is a great variety of vectors. In such a way, that we can speak of fixed, parallel, sliding, opposite, concurrent, free or collinear, among many others.

In the same way, it should be emphasized that a significant number of operations can be carried out with these elements. Among the most frequent are the sum, the product by a scalar, the obtaining of an ordinary derivative, decompositions, the angle between two vectors or the covariant derivative.

For biology , a vector is an agent that can spread or transmit a disease from one organism to another. It is possible to distinguish between the epidemiological vector (which transmits an infectious agent from an affected individual to another that does not yet carry said agent) and the gene vector (which is responsible for transferring genetic information from one organism to another).

In computer science , a vector (also known as a matrix) is a contiguous storage area that houses elements of the same type. It can be understood as a series of elements arranged in rows or columns. The vector offers a structure that facilitates access to the data.

The Vector images are digital images composed of independent geometric objects. These objects (such as polygons or segments) are defined by mathematical attributes that establish their color, position, and other characteristics.

This type of images is common to be used with great frequency in areas such as the Internet, the creation of fonts, the development and design of graphics or the creation of video games of various kinds, both for consoles and computers or even for applications mobiles.

However, the fact that within the scope of new technologies the term vector is also used in another sense should not be overlooked. Specifically, we can say that this word is the one that gives title to a game, of the so-called arcade type, which is located in a future where the freedom of the individual does not exist.

Starting from this premise, it is established that what the participant must do is find the mechanisms to find this freedom. For this reason, he will run and jump being chased at all times by a kind of Big Brother who wants to capture him so that he returns to submit to the imposed political system.

A space vector or transport rocket, finally, is a special rocket designed to transport payload from Earth to outer space.

In order to determine the meaning of the term vainglory, the first thing we are going to do is know its etymological origin. In this sense, we can state that it is a word that derives from Latin. Specifically, it is the result of the sum of two components of that language: -The adjective “vanus”, which can be translated as “empty”. -The noun "glory", which is equivalent to "fame", "honor" or "splendor". Boasting is the petulance or presumption of an individual regarding his actions or self- worth . The verb boast alludes to this act of boasting. For example: "I am fed up with the pride of this artist: he may have a lot of talent, but he lacks humility" , "I don't understand your pride: you have just made a big mistake and yet you are proud of your actions" , " You should not act out of pride, but out of solidarity ” . The term boastful, therefore, is also a conjugation of the verb boast: "The o

ABBOT

Abad is a concept that, according to what is detailed by the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ), comes from abbas , a Latin word. The term refers to the religious who occupies the superior position in a type of monastery known as an abbey . The abbot, therefore, is the spiritual father, leader and person in charge of an abbey . In its origins, the notion was not linked to a hierarchy or a formal position, but was an honorary title . The honor arose in Syrian monasteries and then began to be implemented in Europe. Regarding the way in which the abbots lived before the formal organization, it is known that they were hermits, who, through their acts and customs, pursued a state in which their spirit was liberated from the material world. It was precisely thanks to this discipline that they could achieve a degree of knowledge and harmony that attracted other religious to congregate around them. Far from being a selfish attitude or a symbol of lack of concern for the rest o

Derived from the Latin term variabilis , variable is a word that represents that which varies or is subject to some type of change. It is something that is characterized by being unstable , fickle and changeable . In other words, a variable is a symbol that identifies an unspecified element within a certain group. This set is usually defined as the universal set of the variable ( universe of the variable , on other occasions), and each piece included in it constitutes a value of the variable. For example: x is a variable in the universe { 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 }. Therefore, x can be equal to any of the values ​​just mentioned, with which it is possible to replace x with any odd number that is less than 8 . As you can see, variables are elements present in formulas, propositions and algorithms, which can be substituted or can acquire, without ceasing to belong to the same universe, different values. It is worth mentioning that the values ​​of a variable can be framed wit
