Vector notation
In mathematics and physics, vector notation is a commonly used notation for representing vectors, which may be Euclidean vectors, or more generally, members of a vector space. For denoting a vector, the common typographic convention is lower case, upright boldface type, as in . The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recommends either bold italic serif, as in , or non-bold italic serif accented by a right arrow, as in \vec{v} . In advanced mathematics, vectors are often represented in a simple italic type, like any variable. Vector representations include Cartesian, polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates.
