Vector Basics: Vectors, Scalars, Addition, and Scalar Multiplication
In this video I go over a quick review of the basics of vector algebra, namely the definitions of vectors vs scalars, and their addition or multiplication. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction (such as velocity), while a scalar just has a magnitude (such as temperature). We can add vectors by adding their components, and this is visually seen by placing one vector at the tip of another. Similarly, we can multiply a vector by a scalar by multiplying the scalar into each of the vector's components. Likewise, these basics extend to subtraction as well as vectors in 3D.
