A vector is a mathematical concept that denotes direction and magnitude. They're often notated using an arrow ($\overrightarrow{v}$), or with a bold, lowercase letter. (**v**). $$\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix} $$ # Magnitude The magnitude of a vector is $|\overrightarrow{v}| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$ # Direction The direction of a vector is $\theta = \tan^-1
