Description
Vector calculus is a fundamental language for understanding physical phenomena in three-dimensional space. This subject provides a powerful toolset for describing and analysing various topics in physics, including fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and electromagnetism.
The book assumes no prior knowledge of vectors but requires a basic understanding of calculus, including differentiation, integration, and partial differentiation, as well as some linear algebra concepts. It is designed to be self-contained, making it suitable for individual study, with frequent reference to physical applications and over sixty diagrams to aid comprehension.
