Section 5.1 Operations with Vectors

In this section, we will introduce how to perform the arithmetic operations on vectors in Sage. Vectors can be added and subtracted using the + and - operators. The result of adding or subtracting two vectors is a new vector with the same number of components.

Vectors can be multiplied by real numbers (scalar multiplication) using the * operator. Here is an example of scalar multiplication of a vector by 2.
