Vectors in Space

  • Vector Algebra
    • Expressing a vector from Point A to Point B in vector notation
    • Sketching a position vector
    • Vector algebra: (1) scalar multiplication; (2) vector addition and subtraction
      • Computing and sketching a scalar times a vector and a sum (difference) of two vectors
    • Triangle inequality
  • The Dot Product of Two Vectors
    • Two definitions of dot product of two vectors
    • Angle of two vectors
      • Computing the dot product of two vectors
      • Computing the angle between two vectors
      • Determining if two vectors are parallel or orthogonal (perpendicular) when cosine of the angle is 1, -1, or 0
      • Determining if the angle of two vectors is acute, or obtuse when the dot product of two vectors is positive or negative
      • Given a particular vector, create other parallel vectors of desired length
      • Given a particular vector, create other orthogonal vectors of desired length
      • Given one vector and an angle, determine another other vector with the desired angle. Maybe give part of the second vector.
  • The Cross Product of Two Vectors in Space
    • Calculating the standard collection of numerical examples
    • Orthogonality
      • Given a vector, determine another vector which is orthogonal
    • Orthogonality between three vectors
      • Given two vectors, determine a vector which is normal
