![]() | This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. In particular, the article uses many terms which are nowhere defined in Wikipedia, and are not commonly defined in modern mathematics: rectangular vector, spherical vectors, etc. Moreover, except for the lead, it is not about notation, but about the representation of vectors (or points?) by means of coordinates..

In mathematics and physics, vector notation is a commonly used notation for representing vectors,[1][2] which may be Euclidean vectors, or more generally, members of a vector space.
For representing a vector, the common typographic convention is lower case, upright boldface type, as in v. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recommends either bold italic serif, as in v, or non-bold italic serif accented by a right arrow, as in .[3]
In advanced mathematics, vectors are often represented in a simple italic type, like any variable.[citation needed]
