I suggest to start with Wikipedia:
In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector (sometimes called a geometric or spatial vector, or—as here—simply a vector) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction. Vectors can be added to other vectors according to vector algebra. A Euclidean vector is frequently represented by a line segment with a definite direction, or graphically as an arrow, connecting an initial point A with a terminal point B, and denoted by
A vector...
and:
In mathematics and linear algebra, vector algebra refers to algebraic operations in vector spaces. Most commonly, it refers to operations on Euclidean vectors. Assume now that a and b are not necessarily equal vectors, but that they may have different magnitudes and directions. The sum of a and b is defined as:
For the first time just skip the formulas. Then probably find an online tutorial or a basic course about vector algebra. That should be enough for a start.
