Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Numbers, Units, Scalars, and Vectors

Numbers, Units, Scalars, and Vectors

Even Deedee Dodobird knows that a strong general knowledge of scientific and mathematical concepts makes it much easier to understand physics, the study of how things work. Section one of this program demonstrates fundamental abilities such as how to manipulate numbers using scientific notation and how to convert and algebraically cancel SI units. In section two, scalars and vectors are presented, including the head-to-tail and component methods of vector addition, dot products and cross products, and even a healthy dose of trigonometry.
