This article gives a brief explanation of vectors and vector algebra.
A scalar value is just a numeric value. In contrast thereto, a vectorial value has a direction. Examples for vectors are all forces and the velocity, which is directed to the driving direction.

  1. Unit vectors
  2. Simple arithmetic operations
  3. Dot product
  4. Cross product
