a bunch of vectors drawn at a lot of different points
a field which associates a vector to every point in the field space
a function from a manifold to the disjoint union ofits tangent spaces, such that at each point, the value is an element of the tangent space at that point
a function over a region of three dimensional space that gives at each point a vector
an assignment of a vector to each point in a space (or to each point of what mathematicians would call a manifold ), which is just a function that maps points in the space to vectors
a tangent bundle section of its tangent bundle
a vector valued function of position in space
a section of a vector bundle. More specifically, a vector field can mean a section of the tangent bundle.
See field.
In mathematics a vector field is a construction in vector calculus which associates a vector to every point in a Euclidean space.
