Life when "a vector is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors"

Oh, I think I got some definitions mixed up...

Life when vector is

A computer-generated image as a representation of a mathematical formula rather than a collection of pixels.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's only an image if you look at it.

Yo hit me up once you start talking Hilbert and Sobolev spaces. That's when the real blob-on-fire hits

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hilbert spaces are relatively nice.

Life when "a Vector is Victor & his dog, Yondo"

Come to think of it, why are arrays in R called vectors?
And don't tell me it's because thats what they're called in S

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Probably because it's what they're called in C++.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I assume because it all does tie back to math terms. There is a lot of computer science in which arrays/lists are used for vector arithmetic (graphics, ML, generic math). I suspect only later in the field did arrays mutate into generic lists that you see in R and Python.

life when space is Ω and boundary is dΩ (or S, ds) or all space is abstraction of a hilbert space of dimension n

Life when "a vector is just the values in a register where you can do an operation on all of the values at once".
