Introduction to vectors. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude (or size) and a direction. Both of these properties must be given in order to specify a vector completely. In this unit we describe how to write down vectors, how to add and subtract them, and how to use them in geometry.
We defined a vector in Rn as an n-tuple, i.e., as an n×1 matrix. This is an algebraic definition of a vector where a vector is just a list of num-bers. The geometric objects we will look at in this chapter should be seen as geometric interpretations of this alge-braic definition.

Vector Geometry. 4.1 Vectors and Lines. In this chapter we study the geometry of 3-dimensional space. We view a point in 3-space as an arrow from the origin to that point. Doing so provides a “picture” of the point that is truly worth a thousand words.
1 Define Sine, Cosine and Tangent in terms of the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse of a triangle. 2 Use the above trig functions to finds angles and right triangle side lengths. 3 Define a vector in a sentence.
1 Vectors: Geometric Approach. What's a vector? in elementary calculus and linear algebra you probably de ned vectors as a list of numbers such as ~x = (4; 2; 5) with special algebraic manipulations rules, but in elementary physics.
In physics and geometry: A vector is referred to as a quantity with both a magnitude and a direction. Remarks: There is one special exception, the vector ~0 = (0;0) 2R2 is a vector with magnitude 0 and no direction. Question: How to determine the magnitude and direction of a vector? Answer: Given any vector ~x= (x;y) 6= (0 ;0) 2R2, draw
