Beskrivelse
Summary:Vector analysis, which had its beginnings in the middle of the 19th century, has in recent years become an essential part of the mathematical background required of engineers, physicists, mathematicians and other scientists. This requirement is far from accidental, for not only does vector analysis provide a concise notation for presenting equations arising from mathematical formulations of physical and geometrical problems but it is also a natural aid in forming mental pictures of physical and geometrical ideas. In short, it might very well be considered a most rewarding language and mode of thought for the physical sciences. This book is designed to be used either as a textbook for a formal course in vector analysis or as a very useful supplement to all current standard texts. It should also be of considerable value to those taking courses in physics, mechanics, electromagnetic theory, aerodynamics or any of the numerous other fields in which vector methods are employed.
