The term vector is used by scientists to indicate a quantity (such as displacement or velocity or force) that has both magnitude and direction. A vector is often represented by an arrow or a directed line segment.

We denote a vector by printing a letter in boldface (v) or by putting an arrow above the letter (v).

Chapter 10, 10.2, P524

displacement vector v , shown in Figure 1, has initial point A (the tail) and terminal point B (the tip) and we indicate this by writing v=AB. Notice that the vector u=CD has the same length and the same direction as v even though it is in a different position. We say that u and v are equivalent (or equal) and we write u=v.

DEFINITION OF VECTOR ADDITION If u and v are vectors positioned so the initial point of v is at the terminal point of u, then the sum u + v is the vector from the initial point of u to the terminal point of v.

DEFINITION OF SCALAR MULTIPLICATION If c is a scalar and v is a vector, then the scalar multiple cv is the vector whose length is │c│ times the length of v and whose direction is the same as v if c>0 and is opposite to v if c<0. If c=0 or v=0, then cv=0.

Notice that two nonzero vectors are parallel if they are scalar multiples of one another. In particular, the vector –v=(-1)v has the same length as v but points in the opposite direction. We call it the negative of v.

Chapter 10, 10.2, P526

By the difference u - v of two vectors we mean

u - v= u + (-v)

if a=<a1,a2> and b=<b1,b2>, then the sum is a + b=<a1+b1, a2+b2>To add algebraic vectors we add their components. Similarly, to subtract vectors we subtract components. From the similar triangles in Figure 15 we see that the components of ca are ca1 and ca2. So to multiply a vector by a scalar we multiply each component by that scalar.

We denote by V2 the set of all two-dimensional vectors and by V3 the set of all three-dimensional vectors. More generally, we will later need to consider the set Vn of all n-dimensional vectors. An n-dimensional vector is an ordered n-tuple:

Three vectors in V3 play a special role. Let

i=<1,0,0> j=<0,1,0> k=<0,0,1>

These vectors i ,j , and k are called the standard basis vectors.

If a=<a1,a2,a3> , then we can write

Thus any vector in V3 can be expressed in terms of i, j, and K.

If S is the foot of the perpendicular from R to the line containing PQ, then the vector with representation PS is called the vector projection of b onto a and is denoted by prjoa b. (You can think of it as a shadow of b). The scalar projection of b onto a (also called the component of b along a) is defined to be numerically the length of the vector projection, which is the number │b│ cosθ, where θ is the angle between a and b. (See Figure 4.) This is denoted by compa b.

For every number t in the domain of r there is a unique vector in V3 denoted by r(t). If f(t), g(t), and h(t) are the components of the vector r(t), then f, g, and h are real-valued functions called the component functions of r and we can write
