1 Visualizing Vector fields
Ch.3 Vectors Visualizing Vector fields

2 2-D Vectors Latitude + Longitude gives location

3 3-D Vectors Latitude + Longitude + Altitude more precise

4 To go from A to B Need Origin (Charlottesville), Magnitude
(70.12 miles), Direction (bear SouthEast)

5 To go from A to B 2D Map

6 To go from A to B Decomposing a vector OR Adding several vectors

7 Adding Vectors Lay them out head-to-tail

8 Parallelogram law of Addition
A + B B B A Head to tail: Connect first head and last tail (problem: no common reference, so need to wait!) Tail to tail: Connect diagonal of parallelogram (problem: still only do 2 at a time) Best: Decompose vectors and add components (Later)
