PHY 113 C Fall 2013 -- Lecture 3 89/3/2013
Definition of a vector
1. A vector is defined by its length and direction.
2. Addition, subtraction, and two forms of multiplication can be defined
3. In practice, we can use trigonometry or component analysis for quantitative work involving vectors.
4. Abstract vectors are useful in physics and mathematics.
