a vector is simply an arrow that contains the following:

  • direction (angle)
  • magnitude (length).

when you express it onto a cartesian-plane, it gets two vector components:

  • x-component (x')
  • y-component (y')

how many x’ and how many y’ to reach tip of a vector in x, y space.


part of a larger group of things called tensors.
