MATHS - Trigonometry - Vectors

The video tutorial introduces vectors, explaining their properties such as magnitude and direction. It demonstrates how to represent vectors on a coordinate plane and calculate their magnitude using the Pythagorean theorem. The tutorial covers vector addition using both the head-to-tail method and the parallelogram method, as well as vector multiplication and subtraction. Practical examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, including calculating the magnitude and direction of resultant vectors.
