VECTOR METHODS

This book is for students of mathematics and the physical sciences in Polytechnics and Universities. It covers vector algebra, vector calculus, vector field theory and orthogonal curvilinear coordinates.

An important feature of this book is the grouping together, in each chapter of fundamental results and properties. This arrangement allows a student user to find a required result without difficulty. In addition, each chapter contains applications (drawn from geometry, mechanics, and physics), worked examples, and problems. Answers to the problems are supplied at the end of the book.
