Key Concepts

Cartesian Coordinate System

The Cartesian coordinate system is a framework that uses perpendicular axes to define positions in space. It typically includes horizontal (x-axis) and vertical (y-axis) directions in two dimensions, and an additional z-axis in three dimensions.

Standard Basis Vectors

Standard basis vectors are a set of unit vectors that define the directions of the axes in a coordinate system. In many texts, symbols such as i, j, and k are used to denote the unit vectors in the x, y, and z directions respectively, providing a convenient way to express and manipulate vectors.

Unit Vector

A unit vector is a vector with a magnitude of one. It is used to indicate direction while having no scaling effect on the quantity it represents, making it a fundamental tool in vector operations.
