In mathematics and most libraries, the name vector refers to a multi-dimensional direction in cartesian space, so it is very strange that the standard library uses it to refer to a list of elements that might not even be scalars, while std::list refers to a linked list. In C++ you are supposed to use std::array instead of the C array, but they break backward compatibility so often that I rather just use my own fixed size array collection.
