Lecture
Vectors: Fundamentals
Description
This lecture covers the basic concepts related to vectors, including their definition as arrows detached from their position, their representation in the plane or space, operations such as addition and scalar multiplication, and properties like colinearity and uniqueness. The instructor explains how vectors can be combined linearly and demonstrates applications of vector operations through examples and the Varignon's theorem.
