Vectors of 3 components (3 dimensions)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a lack of comprehensive resources on three-dimensional vectors, with the textbook providing minimal information. The user expresses a preference for video instruction, noting the abundance of two-dimensional vector resources compared to the scarcity of three-dimensional content. They seek recommendations for step-by-step video series that cover three-component vectors in depth. Khan Academy is mentioned as a valuable resource for learning about three-dimensional vectors. The conversation also touches on alternative terminology for the topic, such as "3 space" and "R3."

Hi, I don't think my textbook gives much information on vectors in 3 dimensions. The first chapter is on vectors, but only uses 2 and 1/2 pages to explain vectors in 3 dimensions. I have found a wealth of information on vectors in 2 dimensions (there are literally hundreds of detailed videos out there), but can't find much except for a 25 second video clip and one 3 and a half minute video clip on 3 dimensional vectors. Any good resources for vectors of 3 components that are explained step by step indepthly? Perhaps a video series?

P.S. I am somewhat biased towards video instruction. I know there is most likely a wealth of information on the internet for vectors of 3 components in print form, but I really prefer instruction in video format for some types of "abstract" concepts, at least at first.

thanks Dr. Morbis. I didn't realize KhanAcademy had vectors in 3 dimensions! Apparently there are other common terms for the this topic such as 3 space and R3.
