Judy,
I think that you are right on the money!  I think that the law of sines
and the law of cosines is not the best way to teach students to add
vectors.  I prefer the component method.  CALCULUS!  No way -- not with
the first year kids.

Hang in there,
Cherie                                 Cherie Lehman
