Say today we pick up our basket and go to the market. At the market, the price of each item is posted up as a number on the wall where we can see. So, we represent the prices by a $${1}\times{3}$$ row vector $$p$$. On the other hand, we buy different quantities of each item and so a $${3}\times{1}$$ column vector $$q$$ denotes the list of 3 quantities for items A, B and C. | ||
