The binary operation, defined in terms of vector addition and the additive inverse, as
\[\begin{equation*}
\vec{u} - \vec{v} = \vec{u} + (-\vec{v}),
\end{equation*}
\]
| where | \(\vec{u}, \vec{v}\) | are the terms, |
| \(\vec{u} - \vec{v}\) | is the difference. |
Shares the algebraic properties of vector addition.
