In the wikipedia article on "the vectors mainly used in physics
and engineering" it talks about "free vectors" and "bound vectors".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector
This came as a surprise to me. I am 99.99% certain the
notion of "bound vector" does not appear in any of my math
books. I don't recall seeing it in any of my physics books.
I don't recall hearing any physicist utter the term or use
the concept.
