GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
On completion of this section, students should
1. understand that the attributes of an object can be quantified using measurements;
2. appreciate that all measurements are approximate and that the relative accuracy of a measurement is dependent on the measuring imstrument and the measurement process;
3. demonstrate the ability to use concepts in measurement to model and solve real-world problems.

the maths is very helpful. I
the maths is very helpful. I think tha you should do some examples on vectors
