27.1.1 Displacement Leads to the Vector

Core idea

Saying "walk 3 steps" isn't enough; you have to attach a direction too, and that pairing is the vector AB→.

Module goal. Building on the kind of number from sequences that has only size, introduce vectors, which have both size and direction, and set up the basic ideas and how to draw them.
