I have a mid-term coming up on physics. Oh, I can handle forces, a 2 body diagram, gravitational acceleration just fine.

Then there are the vectors. Evil little things.

In any case, I need help on studing them. If you could provide me with some good info on how to deal with them in varius ways (Adding them, etc), or at least providing easy to follow links with good information, It would be appricated. Any forumlas or properties that you may think helpful would be appricated as well.

Vectors have the exact properties of dispacements. If you know how to add displacements, then you know how to add vectors.
