/**
 * Interface defining a field-valued vector with basic algebraic operations.
 * <p>
 * vector element indexing is 0-based -- e.g., <code>getEntry(0)</code>
 * returns the first element of the vector.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The various <code>mapXxx</code> and <code>mapXxxToSelf</code> methods operate
 * on vectors element-wise, i.e. they perform the same operation (adding a scalar,
 * applying a function ...) on each element in turn. The <code>mapXxx</code>
 * versions create a new vector to hold the result and do not change the instance.
 * The <code>mapXxxToSelf</code> versions use the instance itself to store the
 * results, so the instance is changed by these methods. In both cases, the result
 * vector is returned by the methods, this allows to use the <i>fluent API</i>
 * style, like this:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 *   RealVector result = v.mapAddToSelf(3.0).mapTanToSelf().mapSquareToSelf();
 * </pre>
 *
 * @param <T> the type of the field elements
