turingtest · Answer

I think it is a vector, but on some browsers the TeX looks messed up (on mine for example)

anonymous · Answer

@henpen  from which book or place does it come? context?

parthkohli · Answer

\vec works, so it's a vector.

parthkohli · Answer

The only thing I know this is because I saw somebody's LaTeX, and it was \vec.

anonymous · Answer

I think it was in TuringtTest's answer to a Linear Algebra question.

turingtest · Answer

if you can select it with right-click try
math setting-> math renderer -> SVG
that is the only way I can see the proper symbol on my browser, otherwise I see the square you referred to

parthkohli · Answer

I saw it in @lgbasallote's question.

anonymous · Answer

Evidently I didn't get it at the time, as I still don't know what that silly square is.

anonymous · Answer

OK, so it's nothing new or too important. Thanks.

anonymous · Answer

To tell u the truth it was only curious because it does have a meaning way more advanced for this kind of forum

turingtest · Answer

seeing that it's in linear algebra though, I think it is a vector
