This document defines and explains vectors and their properties. It begins by defining vectors as having both magnitude and direction, represented by arrows, while scalars only have magnitude. It then discusses vector addition and subtraction using the triangle and parallelogram laws. Scalar multiplication scales the magnitude of a vector. Properties of vectors include commutativity of addition and distributivity of scalar multiplication. The dot product of vectors yields a scalar, while the cross product yields a vector. Direction cosines and angles between vectors are also introduced.
