Description
What are vectors?A vector is a fundamental math concept that's used extensively in engineering. Understanding the math behind vectors before you start using vectors in engineering courses improves your comprehension and makes the learning curve much shorter.Who is this course for?This course is designed for students in engineering who need a review of vector concepts before taking courses such as Statics, Dynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Vector Calculus. These courses rely heavily on vector applications so the better you understand vector math, the easier these courses will be. What you'll get with the course4+ hours of on-demand lecture videos35+ fully-worked examples to teach you how to apply the material7 homework sets with solutions so you can practice what you've learnedDownloadable outline of notes with all example problem statements to help you follow along with the lecturesWhat you'll learnThis course covers all you need to get started with vectors. We'll cover:Notation & termsAddition &subtractionPosition vectorsMagnitudeUnit vectors2D & 3D Cartesian vectorsProperties of vectorsFinding vectors using transverse and azimuth anglesDot productDirection cosinesCross ProductFinding area and volume of parallelograms and triangles
