The set of all $n$-vectors is denoted by $\mathbb R^n$.

For example,
```{prf:example}
:label: le_ex_dim

* $\mathbb R^2$ is the plane --- the set of pairs $(x_1, x_2)$.
* $\mathbb R^3$ is 3 dimensional space --- the set of vectors $(x_1, x_2, x_3)$.
```

Often vectors are represented visually as arrows from the origin to the point.
