Vector Generalization

Explore how vectors extend beyond numeric arrays to include objects like humans and images by fulfilling additivity and homogeneity. Learn operator overloading to customize addition for these objects, applying useful Python techniques to normalize and handle diverse data types.

We'll cover the following...

Object

We’ve described vectors as arrays of numbers having two key operations of addition and scalar multiplication. However, in linear algebra, a vector may be generalized as an object that fulfills the linear function properties of additivity and homogeneity. Therefore, besides number arrays, matrices, and polynomials, many other objects can also be taken as vectors if the operations of addition and scalar multiplication are defined for them.

Moreover, daily life objects, ...
