Ducksters: Physics for Kids: Scalars and Vectors
Kids learn about scalars and vectors in the science of physics. Scalars are magnitude only while vectors have magnitude and direction. Examples and differences and how to draw a vector.

Wolfram Math World: Direction Cosine
This page discusses the direction cosine, which can be used to find the coordinates of a unit vector in the direction of any given vector. Includes some rather advanced formulas.
Wolfram Research
Wolfram Math World: Perpendicular Vectors
Come to this site to find the transformational matrix to find the vector rotated 90 degrees from the original. The site also states the special relationship between two perpendicular vectors when using the dot product.
