Arrows Vector Free Download

From meteorological data (hourly values of temperature, wind and humidity) I managed to plot time series of wind speed and direction. Now I would like to add wind vectors on the time series plot. Here you can see the output I would like (arrows drawn over the actual plot).

In QGIS 2.14.5 LTR (and recently in QGIS 3.0) I've set up a beautiful map design with a graduated renderer and vector field markers for each value range (arrow length is directly proportional to stream velocity, which ranges from 0.001 -~5m/s).

I have discovered how to create vector lines to indicate flow direction and velocities. With a "vector field marker" symbol layer type, the lines lengths vary based on the data attributes. However, when using an arrow as a symbol layer type, I can only seem to get the line to scale and not the arrow head. I would like to scale the arrow head proportionally with the line based on the data attributes. Is there a way to do this?

I ask this because in my linear algebra class, my professor never used arrow notation, so sometimes it wasn't obvious between distinguishing a scalar and a vector. (Granted, he did reserve $u$, $v$, and $w$ to mean vectors.) At the same time, my machine learning class used arrows to denote vectors, but I know some other machine learning literature chooses not to put arrows on top of their vectors.

Let us decide we mark an element $\mathbb{R}^3$ as a vector, so we write $\vec{v}$ for it.Now, we want to multiply it with a $3\times 3$ matrix, since it is a matrix there is no arrow, or is there? After all the $3\times 3$ matrices form a vector-space and sometimes we use that structure. So, $\vec{A}$?

For example when we show that for $P$ the characteristic polynomial we have $P(\vec{A})= 0$. Wait, haven't we seen the polynomials as an example of an infinite dimensional vector space? Should be put an arrow there, too? Then we can have $\vec{P}(\vec{A})\vec{v}$!

I tried to write this a bit playful. But the serious point is that one really switches the point of view somewhat frequently when doing mathematics, and the notion of 'vector' is not so clear cut, as plenty of structures are (also) vector space.

In somewhat advanced (pure) mathematics, it is thus not very common to use the notation with an arrow to mark elements as vector specifically. But, if in some context it seems useful, there is no problem with it either.

Usually, it's fine to not have an arrow over your vectors as long as you define that they are vectors. Although in any case, really, you should define it to be a vector with or without an arrow. Once you say "Let v be a vector" then no arrow is needed. If I remember correctly, one of my linear algebra professors didn't use arrows on theirs while my other professor who is an algebraist uses arrows. If you're using a lot of scalars and vectors, using arrows might be handy. Again, it's a matter of preference, convenience, and the "situation" you're in. If there were numerous scalars and vectors which I was dealing with, I would use arrows so it's easier to spot which is a vector and which is not.

A $2\times2$ real matrix is a vector in the vector space of $2\times2$ matrices. The polynomial $t^2+t+3$ is a vector in the vector space of polynomials of degree at most three. The function $\sin(x)$ is a vector in the space of continuous functions. Should we put arrows on these?

I think the confusion lies in the term "vector". Most people think first of an element in $\mathbb{R}^n$ when they hear vector - maybe they were introduced to vectors like that in school, or they are just the most common they work with. And then the arrow above the symbol makes perfect sense.

But in mathematics, a vector is defined as an element in a vector space, and that can be pretty much any structure. $\mathbb{R}^n$ is just the most common example, but functions, matrices, every field (so in particular scalars), and many more are vectors as well.

I think it's a maturity issue in one sense, which is that when you're first introduced to vectors is likely to be the first time you're exposed to the fact that there are two different operations, both called multiplication and both written the same way. You need to learn that you can multiply scalar by scalar, or vector by scalar, but not vector by vector. And perferably understand why. Same issue for addition, you can add two scalars or two vectors, but not a vector to a scalar.

However, once you understand the difference and have become accustomed to distinguishing them in your mind, it's less useful to write them very differently, and might become an annoying overhead. Reserving letters still helps, and usually is enough to remember what everything is. So, putting arrows or underlines everywhere feels like too much. In typeset text you might continue to use bold for vectors because it doesn't make things look much more busy on the page, but in writing I think most people drop it.

Furthermore, like quid's answer says, you will eventually need to deal with more than one vector space at once, at which point having a notational convention that distinguishes "vectors in my vector space" from "everything else" is not sufficient anyway. So as you mature you have to rely on other means to understand what type of entity everything is.

Perhaps off-topic, but there's a related thing in computer programming called "Systems Hungarian notation", where every variable name contains a prefix denoting the data type of the variable. Almost everyone hates this, because in practice it's too much repetition of the same information. It's actually quite difficult to strike the "right" balance because it's a matter of taste. Using mathematical block capitals for special entities $\mathbb{R}$, latin vs. greek letters for vectors vs. scalars, $n$ for an integer, $q$ for a rational, $x$ for a real, $v$ for a vector, $a$ for a coeffient and $f$ for a function, uppercase for matrices, all seem perfectly sensible to most mathematicians although none is essential. Hanging decorations off your letters, though, starts to cross a line and so fewer people bother.

I will buck the consensus here and say that yes, all else being equal, putting arrows on vector quantities is a slight signal that either the author or the intended audience are beginning students or physicists.

In my experience, $\overset{\rightharpoonup}{v}$ and $\mathbf{v}$ are used more often in science and engineering (even at the research level). This explains why they are often used in lower division mathematics courses, since at this point most of the class is not a mathematics major. As you proceed through mathematics, you begin to see vector spaces like real numbers and function spaces, and it makes less sense to think of vectors as "different" from the other things you're working with. Once you start hearing the word "module" enough, the notation has almost completely disappeared. The only exceptions I have seen are in differential geometry and applied math. I don't think the notation is so much mathematically immature as it is associated with "spatial" thinking.

Pick one and stick to it (at least throughout each publication). Most of my aquaintances who are mathematicians just skip the arrows, as well as subscripts (i.e., $L^2$ in $||\cdot||_{L^2}$) with an explicit remark that it is obvious.

At least in Physics, vectors are designated as such via arrows (or underlines and matrices underlined twice) very often since you also regularly need their absolute values, which are then simply written as the same variable without decorators, e.g.

I'd say that the key thing when writing mathematics is that your notation is clear. In books and papers, the standard notation (in the books I've read at least) is to use bold for vectors and normal letters for scalars, but when writing on the board we can't really do bold characters, so various lecturers use different styles to indicate vectors. Which one you use is up to you (I have seen arrows, underlines and overlines used), as long as you are consistent and clearly explain you notation when you start. For typed math, I said the standard is bold. This doesn't mean that arrows are wrong, but they are more common in texts aimed at engineers or physicists where vectors generally mean something with a magnitude and direction. A good sign of mathematical maturity in my opinion is clarity. As long as you are clear about your notation, you will be fine whichever one you use.

There's a reason I avoid it, which is that I hand write almost all my mathematics, writing in bulk, and it slows me down to write the arrows overhead. It helps me get down detailed thoughts quickly to use the same notation for writing those notes that I would use when I'm writing a full proof or reasoning from a prepared vantage point. Boldface isn't better, at least for speed (Maybe clarity? I have scribbly handwriting.), but knowing some calligraphy helps especially to cheat and have distinctions clearly hold within the text. Either way, if I don't have two sets of things using the same letters, I'll just use unadorned, pen-weight letters, and just draw them kind of formally clean. I have a feeling I'm not alone in this, and that the adoption of this practice would influence those exposed to its effect on an author's style, which would be another explanation for the large amount of authors there are that don't use arrows or boldface to distinguish vectors from other things. It's also normal if someone doesn't do that just because they don't feel the need to distinguish vectors' names from scalars' names, or have chosen some other notation sufficient to distinguish vectors and scalars in a formula, like a dedicated symbol and order of arguments for the scalar multiplication operator (useful for talking about rings as a module over themselves). The hat over unit vectors or just normalizations of other vectors, on the other hand, is useful for keeping your number of symbols small and showing by the name when things are related. 006ab0faaa
