vektormaatriks

Vektormaatriks is a term that can refer to a couple of related mathematical concepts. Primarily, it often denotes a matrix where each element is a vector. This is distinct from a standard matrix where elements are scalars. In such a structure, the dimensions would describe the arrangement of these vectors, and each vector itself would have its own set of components. For example, a 2x2 vektormaatriks might contain four 3-dimensional vectors, leading to a total data structure of 4x3 dimensions in a flattened representation.

Alternatively, "vektormaatriks" can sometimes be used more loosely to describe a matrix that represents a transformation of vectors, such as a rotation matrix or a scaling matrix. In this context, the matrix itself is composed of scalar values, but its fundamental purpose is to operate on and modify vectors. When a vector is multiplied by such a matrix, the result is a transformed vector. The properties of the matrix determine the nature of this transformation. Understanding the distinction between a matrix *of* vectors and a matrix *acting on* vectors is crucial when encountering the term vektormaatriks.
