Introduction to vectors - 1
A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude (or size) and a direction. Both of these properties must be given in order to specify a vector completely. In this unit we describe how to write down vectors, how to add and subtract them, and how to use them in geometry.

Vectors - Scalar Product 1
One of the ways in which two vectors can be combined is known as the scalar product. When we calculate the scalar product of two vectors the result, as the name suggests is a scalar, rather than a vector.

Cartesian components of vectors
Any vector may be expressed in Cartesian components, by using unit vectors in
the directions of the coordinate axes. In this unit we describe these unit
vectors in two dimensions and in three dimensions, and show how they can be
used in calculations.
