Vectors

In this section you will learn all about vectors. What makes a vector a vector, how they look like in different dimensions, some mathematical properties that they posses, and how they are used in physics and in the world around us.

In the links below you will learn about different properties of vectors, and what to do with them so that you can have an idea of how they play a role not only in introductory physics, but in higher physics as well.
