Abstract: In geometrical computations it is often necessary to find two unit vectors such that they and a given vector form an orthogonal basis. Computationally simple forms for the two unit vectors ...

For a point P, we call the vector from the origin to the point P the position vector of P. When P has coordinates (1,4,8) the position vector of P has components \(\left( ...

One of the most important topics taught at the start of introductory physics is the idea of vectors. Students really need proficiency with them if they are to use force and momentum. Just about every ...

Practise using vector components when adding, subtracting or calculating the magnitude of vectors ahead of your National 5 Maths exam. Revise using vector components to add and subtract vectors and ...

In mathematics, the cross product of two vectors is a third vector that is perpendicular to both the initial vectors. The cross product is widely used in physics and engineering to describe the ...
