Introduction to Vector Analysis

by Harry F. Davis, Arthur David Snider

The introductory text covers vector algebra; single variables; scalar and vector fields; line, surface, and volume integrals; and advanced topics. This seventh edition incorporates early introduction of curvilinear coordinate expressions, relegating deeper mathematical insights to the appendices on theorems of advanced calculus, constrained optimization, and vector equations of classical mechanics. Due to its optional reading sections, the text can be used at several levels. Includes exercises and selected answers. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
