For the moment, we define a vector to be a directed line segment beginning at the origin, that is, a line segment with specified magnitude and direction, and initial point at the origin.

Chapters III. and IV. contain the treatment of those topics in Vector Analysis which, though of less value to the students of pure mathematics, are of the utmost impor-tance to students of physics.
