Calculus III: Two Dimensional Vectors (Level 7 of 13)

The video tutorial covers the algebraic definition of scalar multiplication and vector addition. It demonstrates how to determine the collinearity of points using vectors, find a scalar to make vectors parallel, and perform vector addition both algebraically and geometrically. The tutorial also explains how to find coordinates in a parallelogram using vectors and perform various vector operations, including finding magnitudes.
