Introduction to Vectors

2D Vector Operations - Example 1

In mathematics, a vector (from the Latin "vehere", "to carry") is a geometric object that has a magnitude (or length) and a direction. A vector can be thought of as an arrow in Euclidean space, drawn from an initial point A to a terminal point B, called the vector's tail (or head). A vector is what is needed to "carry" the point B to the point A. Vectors also include the notion of a vector space, which is an abstract collection of vectors that can be added together and multiplied by numbers, using the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication.
