Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class Vector< T >

The abstract base class for vectors; provides size and element access.

Vector<T> is the absolute bare bones interface to a linear algebraic vector. It provides an interface to the object size, an interface to obtain constant elements (no guarantee of writability), and a stream output function. Concrete classes may be derived from Vector<T>, or from derived classes. Intermediate classes should probably be avoided except for good reasons. Methods for obtaining subvectors are currently commented out because G++ 3.3 did not implement covariant return types (5/20/04).
