3 Terms and Definitions
3.1 Fundamental Terms
3.1.1
scalar quantity
quantity of single real number or complex number
[101-11-09]
Note: In the three-dimensional space with definable sense of direction, the term "scalar quantity" is generally limited to the quantity irrelevant to direction.
3.1.2
vector quantity
quantity which can be represented as an element of a set, in which both the product of any element and either any real or any complex number and also the sum of any two elements are elements of the set
[101-11-10]
Note 1: A vector quantity in an n-dimensional space is characterized by an ordered set of n real or complex numbers, which depend on the choice of the n base vectors if n is greater than 1.
Note 2: For a real two- or three-dimensional space, a vector quantity can be represented as an oriented line segment characterized by its direction and length.
Note 3: A complex vector quantity is defined by a real part and an imaginary part: where and are real vector quantities.
Note 4: A vector quantity is indicated by a letter symbol V in bold-face type or by an arrow above a letter symbol: .
3.1.3
field
state of a region in which a quantity or an interrelated set of quantities exists at each point and depends on the position of the point
