In science and mathematics, basically there are two types of quantities – scalar and
vector quantities. The scalar quantity involves only one value (magnitude) such as
speed, length, mass, area and so on. On the other hand, the vector quantity comprises
more than one value (direction and magnitude) such as velocity, force, acceleration,
weight, displacement, momentum and so on.
In this chapter, you will learn some fundamental concepts about vectors. You will also
learn various operations on vectors and their algebraic and geometric properties.
Vector algebra is used in various fields such as quantum mechanics, wave propagations,
in various oscillators, fluid mechanics, general relativity and much more.

Section 10.2 – In this section, you’ll learn basic terms like directed line, line segment,
initial point, terminal point, the magnitude of the vector, position vector, direction
cosines, direction ratios and more.
Section 10.3 – In this section, you’ll study about different types of vectors like zero
vector, unit vector, co-initial vector, collinear vectors, equal vectors, negative of a vector
and free vectors.
