We call this number the magnitude of the quantity. One such example is temperature since we describe this with only a number such as 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Other such quantities are length, area, and mass. These types of quantities are often called scalar quantities. However, there are other quantities that require both a magnitude and a direction. One such example is force, and another is velocity.

It explains position vectors, scalar multiplication, vector addition, and the concepts of displacement and resultant vectors. The section also addresses vector components, their magnitudes, and applications in velocity and other contexts. Detailed examples and exercises help illustrate these concepts, providing a comprehensive understanding of vectors in geometric terms.

We could represent a vector in two dimensions as (m,θ), where mm is the magnitude and θ is the direction, measured as an angle from some agreed upon direction.
