Education in physics and mathematics. ... Vectors are quantities that have a size and a direction. ... This may be the first time that you have encountered the concept of a vector. Vectors are central to the study of physics. Since they may be new to you, do not at first try to relate them to ideas that you already have.

Scalars and vectors: ... A vector is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction. Vectors arise naturally as physical quantities. Examples of vectors are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force and electric field. ... Special arithmetic rules must be obeyed when adding vectors together. Much of this topic is...

Why do we bother with vector algebra? ... Learning vector algebra represents an important step in students' ability to solve problems. The importance of vector algebra can be understood in the context of previous steps in knowledge: ... So at this point, we would guess that vectors have very limited quantitative use.
