Beschreibung
Vector calculus is the foundation stone on which a vast amount of
mathematical physics is based (for example, fluid dynamics, solid
mechanics and general relativity all involve a description of vector and
scalar quantities in three dimensions) so it is important that students
have a thorough grasp of it before moving on to more advanced areas of
mathematics. Most books are aimed at engineering applications: this book
focuses on the underlying mathematical structure of the subject and is
aimed at first and second year undergraduate mathematic students.
Paul Matthews is a young writer with an excellent research record and teaching experience at both MIT and Nottingham - Up to date and of relevance to today's students - Full use is made of the elegant and concise suffix notation Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Vector Calculus
"Written for undergraduate students in mathematics, the book covers the material in a comprehensive but concise manner, combining mathematical rigor with physical insight. There are many diagrams to illustrate the physical meaning of the mathematical concepts, which essential for a full understanding of the subject." — ZENTRALBLATT MATH
