Abstract
We start this chapter by explaining how to use vectors in Mathematics, with an emphasis on practical operations on vectors in the plane and in space. We discuss the standard vector operations, and give several applications to the computations of geometric quantities such as distances, angles, areas, and volumes. The bulk of the chapter is devoted to instructions for graphing curves and surfaces.
