Vector Notation

This topic is part of the QCE Specialist Maths syllabus under the topic: Vectors and Matrices, specifically vector notation.

In this post, we will define and use a variety of notations and representations for vectors in two dimensions. In particular, our explorations will be around:

  • Use standard notations for vectors
  • Represent vectors graphically in two dimensions as directed line segments
  • Define unit vectors as vectors of magnitude 1, and the standard two-dimensional perpendicular unit vectors
  • Express and use vectors in two dimensions in a variety of forms, including component form, ordered pairs and column vector notation
