Definition:Vector Length

Definition
The length of a vector $\mathbf v$ in a vector space $\struct {G, +_G, \circ}_K$ is defined as $\norm V$, the norm of $V$.

Also denoted as
$\size {\mathbf v}$ is sometimes also seen for the length of $\mathbf v$, although this is not recommended since it can lead to confusion with absolute value.

It is commonplace to use the non-bold italic form of the symbol for the length, hence using $v$ for the length of $\mathbf v$.
