Re: vector components and notation

From: "RAUBER, JOEL" <JOEL_RAUBER@SDSTATE.EDU>

P.S. What are the opinions of people on this list regarding Algebra Based

I can live without them. Even Cliff Swartz, in his relatively recent resource book, advocates not using them at all in ANY introductory physics course.
