    Topic:  Arithmetic with vectors, Dot and Cross product, Vector projections, Vectors and forces
    Grade Level: High School

    Pre-requisites: Completion of grade 11 functions and grade 12 advanced functions is highly recommended. 

    Educational Standards: This projects supports U.S. Common-Core Standards:Mathematical functions  (pages 67-71) 
    This project meets these Next Generation Science Standards
