wektorowi

Wektorowi is the dative singular form of the Polish noun wektor, meaning vector. The word is used in sentences where the vector is the indirect object, beneficiary, or recipient of an action, or where a dative construction governs the verb or preposition.

In Polish, wektor is a masculine noun with the following typical singular forms: nominative wektor, genitive wektora, dative wektorowi, accusative wektor, instrumental wektorem, locative wektorze. The vocative is usually the same as the locative form in common usage. The form wektorowi therefore marks grammatical role rather than changing the underlying concept of the mathematical object.

In mathematical contexts, a vector is an element of a vector space, often represented as an ordered tuple of numbers or as a directed line segment with magnitude and direction. Polish texts describing vectors use the noun wektor and appropriate case forms, including wektorowi, depending on the sentence structure. The use of the dative form does not alter the mathematical meaning; it indicates grammatical relationships such as who or what is affected by an action involving the vector.

Etymologically, wektor derives from Latin vector, via other European languages, reflecting the transmission of mathematical terminology. In Polish, the term remains common in education, science, and technical writing. See also wektor, vector, vector space.
