why isn't “functional operator” a contradiction? thanks guys, this is helpful! but would you mind fleshing it out a little more for me? I thought a scalar was just a magnitude, while a vector has more structure - it's a magnitude and a set of directions. Is a scalar field (a collection of scalars) really a kind of vector space (a collection of vectors)? Even if the scalars can be brought together to form vectors, does this really imply that a scalar field is vector space, instead of the ingredients for a vector space? And would framing this in terms of tensors help to understand how vectors and scalars are part of the same larger framework? |
