vector sum [′vek·tər ‚səm]

(mathematics)

For a set of located vectors in euclidean space,v₁,v₂, …,v_n, this is the vector whose initial point is the initial point ofv₁and whose terminal point is the terminal point ofv_n, when the vectors are laid end to end so that the terminal point of one vectorv_iis the initial point of the next vectorv_i+1. Also known as resultant.
