Description
For this new edition (first edition 1992) Dr Tai has added a chapter which further explains the confusion that usually arises in misinterpretation of Gibbs's notation for divergence and curl. He also expands on the use of the symbolic vector in the general non-orthogonal curvilinear system and derives new vector theorems and vector and dyadic identities. With these and other improvements the book offers a clearer introduction to vector and dyadic analysis for graduate students.
