Students learn to distinguish between scalar and vector quantities. Introduction to Vectors: Students learn to distinguish between scalar and vector quantities and how to state the magnitude and ...

One of the most important topics taught at the start of introductory physics is the idea of vectors. Students really need proficiency with them if they are to use force and momentum. Just about every ...

OABC is a parallelogram. \(\overrightarrow{OA}\) is represented by the vector \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OC}\) is represented by the vector \(\mathbf{c}\). M is the mid-point of BC and N is ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...
