Talk:4D vector

rename?

Latest comment: 9 years ago4 comments4 people in discussion

if it's specialized now as a compsci article - would it be better to go further and rename it 4D vector (computer science), or 4D vector (datatype) ; just a thought. then '4D vector' could be a disambiguation, if you're concerned about people running into this when looking for 4-vectors.

I'm sensing disapproval on mixing physics/maths/computing meanings. Originally I thought it would be better to explain it's existence in the most general terms, with specialized sections explaining the main uses.

I still think it is interesting to point out everywhere else that 4D vectors appear. It is so nice to be able to find parallels and connections between different areas. ('why the hell would anyone need a 4d-vector? Ah...')

No. We don't disambugate needlessly. - MrOllie (talk) 15:13, 17 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
This article was intended to cover the all kinds of vectors with 4 elements? The generalities of many unrelated specific cases? Surely you must see how that reasoning would lead to N near-identical articles for {1...N}-dimensional vectors. The many meanings of "vector" are already covered in their separate articles. If arrays with 4 members are particularly noteworthy within computer science (as four-vectors are noteworthy in physics), then keep the article. Otherwise AfD it.
