Vectors

Pilots, navigators and engineers use vectors to find resultant forces (although in navigation, it might be called heading).

A vector is a single column matrix. For GCSE mathematics, you only need to understand about vectors although if you are studying further mathematics and A-level mathematics and beyond, you will need to understand matrices (which can be found in the further maths section).

Translations and vectors

Look at using translations and vectors. Start by converting arrows into vectors and then move on to addition of vectors.
