This week's lessons

The assignments for this week are as follows:
Simple Vectors, problems 1-4 located under the Homework assignments tab on the right

Vector Addition located under the Simulation Assignments on the right. I highly recommend doing the simulation assignment first.

An excellent reading about this topic, as well as an explanation and practice for the math can be found at http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/vectors/u3l1a.html
