Initially, our primary use of vectors will be as containers, but it is worthwhile to spend some time to discuss properties of vectors and their visualization.
A line segment in the plane connects two points $(x_0, y_0)$ and $(x_1, y_1)$. The length of a line segment (its magnitude) is given by the distance formula $\sqrt{(x_1 - x_0)^2 + (y_1 - y_0)^2}$. A line segment can be given a direction by assigning an initial point and a terminal point. A directed line segment has both a direction and a magnitude. A vector is an abstraction where just these two properties $-$ a **direction** and a **magnitude** $-$ are intrinsic. While a directed line segment can be represented by a vector, a single vector describes all such line segments found by translation. That is, how the the vector is located when visualized is for convenience, it is not a characteristic of the vector. In the figure above, all vectors are drawn with their tails at the position of the projectile over time.

We can visualize a (two-dimensional) vector as an arrow in space. This arrow has two components. We represent a vector mathematically as $\langle x,~ y \rangle$. For example, the vector connecting the point $(x_0, y_0)$ to $(x_1, y_1)$ is $\langle x_1 - x_0,~ y_1 - y_0 \rangle$.

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 `OffsetArrays.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.
