Question

hi i'm izzy! can someone help me in my assignment regarding vectors?

Answer 1

Sure, I'll try :-)

Answer 2

what do you know about vectors?

Answer 3

I know they have both direction and magnitude.

Answer 4

what are the operations on vectors?

Answer 5

Addition, subtraction, and two types of multiplication.

Answer 6

do you know how graph vectors?

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

what is the two types of multiplication?

Answer 9

The dot and cross products.

Answer 10

the answer in the dot product of two vectors is scalar and in the cross product is a vector. am i right?

Answer 11

Correct.

Answer 12

i thought there are three types of multiplication. the other one is multiplication of vector to a scalar. right?

Answer 13

Yes you are correct, but I was talking about types of multiplication involving two vectors.

Answer 14

how about you? do you have any question?

Answer 15

What grade is this for?

Answer 16

this is for 2nd year BS Math student.

Answer 17

So you should be doing vector Calculus along with tensors right?

Answer 18

what is tensors?

Answer 19

A generalization of vectors to higher dimensions...

Answer 20

In mathematics, tensor calculus or tensor analysis is an advanced extension of vector calculus to more general mathematical objects called tensor fields (tensors which change throughout space and with time).
Tensor calculus has many real-life applications in physics and engineering, including stress analysis, continuum mechanics, electromagnetism (see mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field), and general relativity (see mathematics of general relativity).

Answer 21

actually, we discussed about vectors already but we didn't encounter tensors.

Answer 22

by the way. thank you for answering my questions. what is your name again?

Answer 23
