Chapter 2. Two-dimensional Space

This page contains links to all resources mentioned in Chapter 2 of the textbook.

Practice Problems

Tip

I highly recommend the practice problems on vectors contained at the Learning Lesson website. Many of them are about three-dimensional vectors, and thus only apply after you have read Chapter 4, but some of them are applicable now.

Interactive Experiences

Check out the following GeoGebraTube interactive demos to experience point and vector operations in 2D with your own mouse (or finger, on most tablet devices).

• Addition of two vectors
• Addition of two vectors with components shown
• Addition of a point and a vector (created by Kevin Liu, a student at Bentley University, for this website)
• Subtraction of two vectors, or two points (created by Kevin Liu, a student at Bentley University, for this website)
• Multiplication of a scalar by a vector
• Unit vectors
• Converting a vector into its magnitude and direction, separately (created by Kevin Liu, a student at Bentley University, for this website)
• Converting a separate magnitude and direction into a vector (created by Kevin Liu, a student at Bentley University, for this website)
