Vectors

Magnitude, direction, components, and adding vectors head to tail.

A vector is a quantity with magnitude and direction, displacement, velocity, force. In components it is just a column of numbers, adding entry by entry; its length comes from Pythagoras. Linear algebra picks up here.

What is a function, really?

A rule that assigns exactly one output to each input. The vertical-line test on a graph is the same idea: no input may have two outputs.

Why do we need complex numbers?

Because x² + 1 = 0 has no real solution, and allowing one new number i with i² = −1 makes every polynomial equation solvable. They then turn out to describe rotation, waves and alternating current more naturally than real numbers do.
