So, I just got out of Calculus class and we took a quiz over vectors. At first vectors seemed really confusing and blew my mind. But now that we've been doing them for awhile...I can't understand what was so hard about them because they are pretty easy now. Anyway.. I was just thinking about how since they are so easy, how come they never taught us them in Calculus AP in High school? I guess it's because they had too many other things to teach us and vector weren't high up on the list of importance. But ya i was thinking that if I get to pick my curriculum when I am teaching......I might want to go ahead and teach vectors just because their easy and it will get them ahead in college. And who doesn't want to be ahead of things???

Kim don't get too excited about vectors just wait till you use them
Vectors ?? Me, I am still working on the "gozinto theory"! 2 gozinto 4, 2 times! I think.
I have never ever heard of the 'gazinto theory' it sounds really complicated though!!!!
