What is a vector

The video tutorial explains vectors as directed line segments, highlighting their components such as initial and terminal points. It covers the concepts of magnitude and direction, essential properties of vectors. The tutorial also discusses how vectors can be visualized on a Cartesian coordinate plane, using points to represent their initial and terminal sides. The video concludes with a summary of the key aspects of vectors, emphasizing their definition and properties.
