Vector addition is a fundamental operation in algebraic mathematics when it comes to vectors. It is typically defined as adding two vectors' individual components together. In terms of synonyms, there are a few equivalent versions of vector addition that are often used in academic contexts. One such term is vector summation, which refers to the process of adding two or more vectors together to obtain a resulting vector. This process is also referred to as vector composition. Vector addition is also known as vectorial addition or simply addition. Essentially, all of these terms refer to the same process of algebraically combining vectors by adding their individual components.
