I recall
sitting in on a differential geometry class where in one of the early
lectures the professor asked what a vector is and how we represent it in
physics. I basically mentioned magnitude and direction and representation
by an arrow. He was quite happy and launched into a discussion (details of
which I forget) on how glad he was, despite my being a physics student, that
I hadn't talked about defining it in terms of transformation properties.
