Several real-world problems are posed as a way to learn about vector fields in order to make some predictions after analyzing the data. The main problem comes from the tv show NUMB3RS and is based on solving a crime where a body has...

Investigate vectors in standard positions and use the CellSheet application on the TI calculator to find the sum of two vectors. Convert from polar to rectangular coordinates and vice versa, and show graphs of the vectors.

Young scholars explore the length of an n-dimensional vector.  In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus instructional activity, students investigate an expansion of the Pythagorean Theorem to n-dimensional space. 

Explore the concept of projectile distance through determining the angle that will provide the maximum distance of a launched projectile.  Students launch baseballs on a football field and video tape the path of the ball.

The resource examines vectors and their properties. Topics investigated are vector, vector arithmetic, dot product, and cross product. Class notes, definitions, and examples with detailed solutions are included. The notes are available...
