I am doing vectors again and need to remember the bare basics. It also includes vector forces and projectiles (but projectiles can wait for a bit).

For some ridiculous reason, I don't seem to remember this one little bit (ie. intermediate vectors) and it's driving me mad! So I believe I must go back to the basics.

I am asking if someone, anyone, has some resources I can use and follow through it, reminding myself of the basics of vectors; then hopefully, what I'm doing now should be far better as it should be.
Anything shall do.

Yes, it quite is! Thankou so much!

What about projectiles?
