<!-- NOTE: please keep terms in alphabetical order -->

### array

**array**:
a (usually fixed-size) multidimensional container of items of the same type and size.

### axis

**axis**:
an array dimension.

### broadcast

**broadcast**:
automatic (implicit) expansion of array dimensions to be of equal sizes without copying array data for the purpose of making arrays with different shapes have compatible shapes for element-wise operations.

### compatible

**compatible**:
two arrays whose dimensions are compatible (i.e., where the size of each dimension in one array is either equal to one or to the size of the corresponding dimension in a second array).

### element-wise

**element-wise**:
an operation performed element-by-element, in which individual array elements are considered in isolation and independently of other elements within the same array.

### matrix

**matrix**:
a two-dimensional array.

### rank

**rank**:
number of array dimensions (not to be confused with the number of linearly independent columns of a matrix).

### shape

**shape**:
a tuple of `N` non-negative integers that specify the sizes of each dimension and where `N` corresponds to the number of dimensions.

### singleton dimension

**singleton dimension**:
a dimension whose size is one.

### vector

**vector**:
a one-dimensional array.
