• Since a vector can be viewed as 1-row by n -column matrix or n -row by 1-column matrix, this
section does not include explanations specifically about vectors. For more information about
vector-specific calculations, see the explanations about the applicable [Action] menu items in
“2-8 Using the Action Menu”.
