Vectors are $1$-dimensional, but there are desires for other dimensions. Vectors are a implemented as a special case of a more general array type. Arrays are of dimension $N$ for various non-negative values of $N$. A common, and somewhat familiar, mathematical use of a $2$-dimensional array is a matrix.
Arrays can have their entries accessed by dimension and within that dimension their components. By default these are $1$-based, but other offsets are possible through the `OffetArrays.jl` package. A matrix can refer to its values either by row and column indices or, as a matrix has linear indexing by a single index.

For large collections of data with many entries being $0$ a sparse array is beneficial for less memory intensive storage. These are implemented in the `SparseArrays.jl` package.
