TED-Ed: What is a vector? - David Huynh

The video tutorial introduces vectors and scalars, highlighting their differences. Scalars have magnitude, while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Vectors are invariant to coordinate systems, meaning they remain unchanged regardless of perspective. The tutorial uses a tent-moving example to illustrate this concept. It further explains how vectors are represented using coordinate bases and arrays, drawing an analogy to language. The video also introduces tensors, which include scalars and vectors, and discusses their applications in fields like video games, scientific simulations, and car designs.
