    This document provides an overview of vector algebra concepts covered in the first lecture of EEE-376 Electromagnetic Theory. It defines unit vectors, base vectors, and how to write vectors in terms of their components. It also summarizes the rules for adding, subtracting, and multiplying vectors through scalar (dot) products and vector (cross) products. Key properties like commutativity and distributivity are outlined for each operation. Finally, it briefly introduces scalar and vector triple products.
