27.1.2 Drawing a Vector

Core idea

You draw it as a little arrow: its length is the magnitude |a|, and where the head points is the direction.

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.
