1.2 Vector Algebra

As vectors have direction (besides magnitude) their sum or difference or multiplication cannot be done using the algebra of scalars. The algebra of vectors has to be developed from the following.

Addition of vectors

Alternatively, the method called Parallelogram law of vector addition can also be used as shown in figure 2.
