Linear Algebra New Notes for BS/MSc
Scalar: The quantity that have or posses only magnitude, like mass, work, etc.
Vector: The quantities that posses both magnitude and direction are called vector quantities. Like displacement, acceleration, velocity, weight etc.
Parallel Vector: Two vectors are considered parallel if and only if they can be obtained by multiplying each of them by a positive scalar.
If they are in same direction then they make zero angle. If they are in opposite direction then they make 180 degree angle.
Orthogonal Vectors: If the dot product of two vectors is equal to zero then they are orthogonal vectors.
Null Vector or zero vector: A null vector is a vector with zero magnitude. The null vector has an arbitrary direction.
Unit Vector: A unit vector, also known as a normalized vector, is a vector whose length is always equal to 1.
