Vector algebra
This article gives a brief explanation of vectors and vector algebra. After a short introduction to vector algebra unit vectors and simple arithmetic operations are presented. Afterwards the dot product and the cross product are briefly explained.

Matrices
This article gives a brief explanation of matrices and basic arithmetic algebra.

Matrix inversion
After describing the preconditions for the existence of an inverse and its definition, the minors and cofactors of a matrix are explained. Based on these an example formula to compute the determinant of a 4-by-4 matrix is presented. Conclusively two procedures to determine the inverse of a matrix, the Gauß-Jordan-Algorithm and the Adjugate Formula, are introduced and clarified by examples.
