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.
