- A one-dimensional array In computer science, an array data structure or simply array is a data structure consisting of a collection of elements , each identified by one or more integer indices, stored so that the address of each element can be computed from its index tuple by a simple mathematical formula. For example, an array of 10 integer variables, with indices 0

It is a type of CRT similar to the oscilloscope but typically using magnetic, rather than electrostatic, deflection.[citation needed] Here, the beam traces straight lines between arbitrary points, repeatedly refreshing the display as quickly as possible, a display device used for early computers
- Vector processor A vector processor, or array processor, is a CPU design where the instruction set includes operations that can perform mathematical operations on multiple data elements simultaneously. This is in contrast to a scalar processor which handles one element at a time using multiple instructions. The vast majority of CPUs are scalar . Vector processors, a computer processor which works on arrays of several numbers at once

- Support vector machine Support vector machines are a set of related supervised learning methods used for classification and regression. In simple words, given a set of training examples, each marked as belonging to one of two categories, an SVM training algorithm builds a model that predicts whether a new example falls into one category or the other. Intuitively, an SVM, in machine learning, a supervised learning method used for classification and regression

What are the steps to prove a set of vectors is a basis of a subspace?
Q. I know to be a basis, we need to show that the set of vectors is linearly independent and spans its vector space V, but HOW do you show that?

A. To show that a set of vectors is linearly independent, you could write each vector as a column in the matrix [v1 v2 v3 ... vn] In other words, the ith column of the matrix contains the ith vector. Then perform Gaussian elimination on the matrix, to reduce it to echelon form. From there, you can deduce the rank of the matrix. If the rank of the matrix is n, then the n columns are linearly independent - i.e. the set of vectors is linearly independent. To show that it spans a vector space V, let an arbitrary element x be given (such that x is an element of V). Then demonstrate that x can be written as a linear combination of the set of vectors. This means that the set of vectors can linearly combine to form any element in V - thus,… [cont.]
