This is a fairly short chapter. We will be taking a brief look at vectors and
some of their properties. We will need
some of this material in the next chapter and those of you heading on towards
Calculus III will use a fair amount of this there as well.
Here is a list of topics in this chapter.
Vectors
The
Basics
In this section we will introduce some of the
basic concepts about vectors.
Vector Arithmetic

operations for vectors.
Dot Product

section as well as an application or two.
