Publisher's Synopsis
Vectors and Vector Operators provides an introduction to the use of vectors and vector operators that will be especially helpful to first-year undergraduates of the physical sciences. The vector forms of many of the equations of physics clearly demonstrate the essential geometrical relationships between the quantities involved. Topics covered include vector algebra, products of vectors, differentiation of vectors, the gradient operator, and the divergence and curl of vector fields. Throughout the text, the author emphasizes the application of vector techniques to problems in physics and includes many worked examples.
