This website provides a simple introduction to vectors. It includes topics such as magnitude and direction, components, unit vectors, vectors in three dimensions, vector addition and subtraction, and scalar and vector products. Animations, still images, graphs, and diagrams are used to illustrate important concepts.
This tutorial is part of the PhysClips collection of web-based resources on introductory mechanics, electricity, and magnetism.
