 A vector is any physical quantity that has both

magnitude and direction.

 Geometrically a vector is a straight line from an initial
WHAT IS A point to a terminal point.

VECTOR ?  Examples of vectors are force , a boat moving through a

river etc.
  If the vector is a i + b j + c k .
It’s magnitude is given by (a2 + b2 + c2)1/2 .
PROPERTIES OF
 Any vector having magnitude 1 is called an unit vector .
VECTORS.  Components of a vector can be taken as
 When force ,a vector,is combined with another vector that
provides orientation we have a physical quantity,called
stress ,which is a second order tensor. These tensorsvare
SOME FACTS AND used in scientific stimulation,car designing and image
APPLICATIONS processing.Thus the use of vector is not limited to only
maths.Projectile and relative motions are also its
applications.
 1.The gradient of a function is a vector
field.It is obtained by applying the vector
GRADIENT AND operator on scalar function f(x,y) .
CURL. 2,The curl is a vector operator that describes the
infinitesimal rotation of a vector field in three
dimensional Euclidean space.
3.The direction of curl is the axis of rotation as
determined by right hand rule.
4.The magnitude of curl is the magnitude of rotation.
  In vector calculus divergence is a vector operator that
produces a scalar field giving the quantity of a vector
field’s source at each point.
 More technically, the divergence represents the volume
density of the outward flux of a vector filed from an
infinitesimal volume around a given point.
DIVERGENCE.  When divergence is greater than zero there is a source,
when less than zero there is a sink, when equal to zero
neither source nor sink exists , ie , the amount going in
is equal to the amount coming out.
