    This document defines and explains vectors. It introduces vectors as having both magnitude and direction, and provides notations for vectors. It explains that vectors can be expressed as the sum of other vectors using the polygon law and triangle law. Vectors can also be multiplied by scalars, resulting in a vector with the same direction but a different magnitude. Two vectors are parallel if one is a scalar multiple of the other.
