In linear algebra, a column vector or column matrix is an m × 1 matrix, i.e. a matrix consisting of a single column of m elements.
The transpose of a column vector is a row vector and vice versa:
The set of all column vectors with a given number of elements forms a vector space which is the dual space to the set of all row vectors with that number of elements.

Famous quotes containing the word column:
“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
