Linear Algebra Flashcards
Building Blocks of Linear Algebra
Vectors
What are Vectors
quantities having both direction and magnitude compared to scalar quantities which have only magnitude.
Scalar Quantities
What do Vectors consist of?
In order to have direction and magnitude:
Must have two or more elements of data.
Dimensionality of a vector
determined by the number of numerical elements in that vector.
Cartesian coordinate system
Velocities
Formula for magnitude or length of a vector
square root of the sum of each vector component squared
vector 1 (squared) + vector 2 (squared) + vector 3 (squared)
Scalar Multiplication
