Algebra of Vectors

Vectors

vectors vs. scalars
coördinate systems
resolving vectors into scalar components

Adding Vectors

graphical vector addition:
adding vectors via components (or this or this)
relating vectors and their scalar components

Multiplying a Vector by a Scalar

multiplication by a scalar

Subtraction Vectors

subtraction is a form of addition
Ex: sum gives no displacement at all
Ex: three vectors
