Calculus III: Two Dimensional Vectors (Level 1 of 13)

The video series introduces vectors, explaining their geometric and algebraic representations. Vectors are used to represent quantities with both magnitude and direction, unlike scalar quantities that are described by a single real number. The video covers vector representation, magnitude, and equivalent vectors, emphasizing the importance of both magnitude and direction for vector equivalency. Different notations for vectors, including the zero vector, are discussed. Examples of equivalent vectors in geometric figures like parallelograms and quadrilaterals are provided to illustrate these concepts.

Describe how to denote vectors using lowercase letters.

What is the significance of the 0 vector?

What geometric properties allow us to determine equivalent vectors in a parallelogram?
