Take a look at vectors as geometric objects and then as an algebraic concept. The second video in a series of 15 introduces the vector using three perspectives: the physics, computer science, and mathematical. The resource shows the connection between the geometric representation of a vector as an arrow and the algebraic representation as a matrix which can be used to understand vector addition and scalar multiplication.
