Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel A Level Maths Vectors, covering 11.1 Vectors, 11.2 Representing Vectors, 11.3 Magnitude and Direction, 11.4 Position Vectors, 11.5 Solving Geometric Problems, and 11.6 Modelling with Vectors. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build fluency with the core pure algebra and calculus toolkit early, since almost every mechanics and statistics topic on the course depends on it.
