Students learn to distinguish between scalar and vector quantities. Introduction to Vectors: Students learn to distinguish between scalar and vector quantities and how to state the magnitude and ...

Abstract: Spatial vectors are six-dimensional (6-D) vectors that describe the motions of rigid bodies and the forces acting upon them. In Part 1, we saw how spatial vectors can simplify the process of ...

THIS “Introduction to Vector-methods and their Various Applications to Physics and Mathematics” is an exposition of the late Willard Gibbs' vector analysis. The author in his preface warns us that “no ...

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 ...

AN excellent introduction to the subject of vector analysis is provided by this book. It is admirably clear, and a natural temptation to develop so fertile a theory in excessive detail and to multiply ...

Abstract: Rotation matrices are a convenient and intuitive way to describe algebraically the relative orientation of multiple cameras or of the same camera shooting from different points of view.
