The binary operation defined, in terms of multiplication, by

\begin{equation*} a \vec{v} = a \begin{pmatrix} v_1 \\ \vdots \\ v_n \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} a v_1 \\ \vdots \\ a v_2 \end{pmatrix} \in V^n, \end{equation*}

with

\begin{equation*} a \in F, \quad \vec{v} \in V^n, \quad \forall i : v_i \in F, \end{equation*}

where	\(a\)	is the scalar factor,
	\(\vec{v}\)	is the vector factor,
	\(a \vec{v}\)	is the resulting scaled vector,
	\(V^n\)	is the vector space with \(\vec{v}\), and
	\(F\)	is the field over which \(V^n\) is defined.
