Full Vectors Notes — Cambridge IGCSE Additional Mathematics 0606

Vectors in 0606 are usually about four things:

1. reading vector notation correctly
2. using position vectors and unit vectors
3. Vector Operation (adding, subtracting, scaling) and finding magnitudes
4. using velocity vectors in context

The exam usually tests your knowledge of vectors, whether it is about movement, position, direction, or velocity.

SECTION 1 — What the Syllabus Expects

Cambridge 0606 vectors in two dimensions cover:

• vector notation in different forms
• position vectors and unit vectors
• magnitude of a vector
• scalar multiplication
• vector addition and subtraction
• equating like vectors
• vector geometry
• composing and resolving velocities
• resultant vectors
• velocity vectors used to determine position and solve context problems, including particle collision-style questions
