Today in Math...

Today in math i learned about vectors.

A vector involves translations. It's the distance on a coordinate plane from one image to it's translated self. If you have a triangle at points (1,2) (1,3) and (1,1) and you move the triangle to points (1,3) (1,4) and (1,2) you have a vector of <0,1> if you had moved it down a unit, you would have a vector of <0,-1>
