In linear algebra, a row vector or row matrix is a 1 × m matrix, i.e. a matrix consisting of a single row of m elements:
The transpose of a row vector is a column vector:
The set of all row vectors forms a vector space which acts like the dual space to the set of all column vectors, in the sense that any linear functional on the space of column vectors (i.e. any element of the dual space) can be represented uniquely as a dot product with a specific row vector.

Famous quotes containing the word row:
“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food. And the range like an altar, yes, before which my mother bowed in perpetual homage, a fringe of sweat upon her upper lip and the fire glowing in her cheeks.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
