Summary

Provides an introduction to vectors from their basics. This book presents vector calculus as a means of studying curves and surfaces in 3 dimensions. It adopts a geometric approach and develops gradually, building from basics to the concept of isometry and vector calculus. It contains numerous worked examples, exercises and challenge questions.

Vectors in Two or Three Dimensions Summary

Vectors in Two or Three Dimensions by Ann Hirst (University of Southampton, UK)

Vectors in 2 or 3 Dimensions provides an introduction to vectors from their very basics. The author has approached the subject from a geometrical standpoint and although applications to mechanics will be pointed out and techniques from linear algebra employed, it is the geometric view which is emphasised throughout.Properties of vectors are initially introduced before moving on to vector algebra and transformation geometry. Vector calculus as a means of studying curves and surfaces in 3 dimensions and the concept of isometry are introduced later, providing a stepping stone to more advanced theories.

Table of Contents
