Quiz from the University of Waterloo.
In this section we define some new operations involving vectors, and collect some basic properties of these operations. Begin by recalling our definition of a column vector as an ordered list of complex numbers, written vertically (Definition CV). The collection of all possible vectors of a fixed size is a commonly used set, so we start with its definition.
Pre-class quiz (five questions) on vector operations, to be completed by students after having watched a pre-class video on the topic.
