The concept of a vector is redefined as a geometric object representing displacement. Chapter 1 emphasizes that this understanding of vectors will deepen with further study. Vector addition is introduced visually to illustrate how vectors operate in space, making the addition feel intuitive. An exercise on vector subtraction is available, and a companion video introduces a method of 'subtraction by addition' which enhances comprehension of these fundamental concepts in linear algebra. This foundational knowledge is crucial for applications in AI and robotics.
Chapter 1 begins by redefining what a vector is, portraying it as an arrow or geometric object that signifies displacement, providing clarity in understanding linear algebra.
Vector addition is introduced visually, emphasizing how considering vectors as moves through space makes the concept of addition feel natural and almost obvious.
