It pro­ vides a way to describe physical quantities in three-dimensional space and the way in which these quantities vary. Many topics in the physical sciences can be analysed mathematically using the techniques of vector calculus. These top­ ics include fluid dynamics, solid mechanics and electromagnetism, all of which involve a description of vector and scalar quantities in three dimensions. This book assumes no previous knowledge of vectors. However, it is assumed that the reader has a knowledge of basic calculus, including differentiation, integration and partial differentiation. Some knowledge of linear algebra is also required, particularly the concepts of matrices and determinants. The book is designed to be self-contained, so that it is suitable for a pro­ gramme of individual study. Each of the eight chapters introduces a new topic, and to facilitate understanding of the material, frequent reference is made to physical applications. The physical nature of the subject is clarified with over sixty diagrams, which provide an important aid to the comprehension of the new concepts. Following the introduction of each new topic, worked examples are provided. It is essential that these are studied carefully, so that a full un­ derstanding is developed before moving ahead. Like much of mathematics, each section of the book is built on the foundations laid in the earlier sections and chapters. 410 0$aSpringer Undergraduate Mathematics Series,$x2197-4144 606 $aMathematics 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aEngineering 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 606 $aTechnology and Engineering 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aEngineering. 615 14$aApplications of Mathematics. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aTechnology and Engineering. 676 $a515/.63 700 $aMatthews$b Paul C.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01346 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962004303321 996 $aVector calculus$91427223 997 $aUNINA
