Vectors

By adding parameters to the URLs these tests can be particularised to only 2D vector, only 3D vectors, magnitude-direction form only, ij form only, column vectors only and position vectors only. By omitting the parameters, the tests randomly choose the values of the parameters.
eg 2D position vectors for the Magnitude Of Vectors test has URL VectorsMag.html?DIM=2,qu=pts2
Resting your mouse over the URLs below reveals the full URL in the Status bar at the foot of this window.
