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
