The author shows why vectors are so useful and how it is possible to develop analytical skills in manipulating vector algebra.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing over 150 full-colour illustrations, the author demonstrates in worked examples how this relatively young branch of mathematics has become a powerful and central tool in describing and solving a wide range of geometric problems. These may be in the form of lines, surfaces and volumes, which may touch, collide, intersect, or create shadows upon complex surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into eleven chapters covering the history of vector analysis, linear equations, vector algebra, vector products, differentiating vector-valued functions, vector differential operators, tangent and normal vectors, straight lines, planes, intersections and rotating vectors. The new chapters are about the history, differentiating vector-valued functions, differential operators and tangent and normal vectors.  The original chapters have been reworked and illustrated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-06-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447175049\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-7505-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 246\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589646442636,"sku":"9781447175049","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447175049.jpg?v=1776861493","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781447175049","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
