In linear algebra, a column vector or column matrix is an m × 1 matrix, i.e. a matrix consisting of a single column of m elements.
The transpose of a column vector is a row vector and vice versa:
The set of all column vectors with a given number of elements forms a vector space which is the dual space to the set of all row vectors with that number of elements.

Famous quotes containing the word column:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
