Vectors Course Introduction
Vectors can be considered as geometric objects that are defined by having a magnititude and a direction. The Vector may be illustrated as a direct line segment. This course will examine positions and problems involving Vectors.
Course Introduction This course covers 3.10J: Vectors of the AQA AS Level Maths course. This is examined on AS Level Paper 1 and on A Level Paper 2.

Introduction to Vectors
A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Examples of vectors are often given as force, velocity and displacement. Vectors can be expressed in terms of the Cartesian system. Formulaic definitions given here.
-
Position vectors
A position vector may be defined as the vector of an arrow drawn to from an origin to a point. Position vectors can be used to describe the vector between two points. Position Vectors can be described using Cartesian components.
-
Problems using Vectors
This module looks at vectors when considered in problems with both one and two dimensional forces; as well as when dividing ration lines and finding the 4th corner of a parallelogram.
