Disambiguation

I haven't changed anything yet because I don't want to break any links, but I think we are going to have to rename this page, and then have "vector" be a disambiguation page. Here's a tentative list:

  • Vector (mathematics) -- probably the current content here
  • Vector (biology/epidemiology)
  • Vector (navigation) -- a course and speed to follow
  • Vector (military) -- closely related to navigation use; the path to intercept
  • Vector space

and probably others. Howard C. Berkowitz 12:07, 31 May 2008 (CDT)

Concur. Any disagreement? J. Noel Chiappa 12:41, 31 May 2008 (CDT)
Any suggestion on how to do this and break the least links, starting with renaming this vector (mathematical), other than in the manner in which one eats an elephant (one bite at a time)?
