Mathematical Vector
Vector math concepts - addition rules, unit vectors, and coordinate representation.
A vector, in its simplest form, is a mathematical entity defined by both magnitude and direction. In geometry and natural sciences, vectors often represent directed segments in Euclidean space or on a plane.
The triangle rule for vector addition:
The parallelogram rule for the addition of vectors:
The unit vectors directed along the coordinate axes Ox and Oy are denoted as i and j, respectively.
If a = x * i + y * j, then the numbers x and y are called vector coordinates.
