Internet Explorer 10 Users : If you are using Internet Explorer 10 then, in all likelihood, the equations on the pages are all shifted downward. To fix this you need to put your browser in Compatibility View for my site. This is easy to do. Look to the right side of the address bar at the top of the Internet Explorer window. You should see an icon that looks like a piece of paper torn in half. Click on this and you have put the browser in Compatibility View for my site and the equations should display properly. Alternatively, you can also view the pages in Chrome or Firefox as they should display properly in the latest versions of those browsers without any additional steps on your part.

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  Here we will give the basic arithmetic operations for vectors.

 

Dot Product  We will discuss the dot product in this section as well as an application or two.

 

Cross Product  In this section we’ll discuss the cross product and see a quick application.
