Schaum's outline of theory and problems of vector analysis and an introduction to tensor analysis SI (metric) edition/ by Murray R. Spiegel

By: Material type: TextTextSeries: Schaum's Outline SeriesPublication details: New York: McGraw-Hill, 1974Description: 225 pages: diagrams; 26 cmISBN:
  • 0070990093
  • 9780070990098
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 515.63 Sp755
Contents:
Vectors and scalars -- The dot and cross product -- Vector differentiation -- Gradient, divergence and curl -- Vector integration -- The divergence theorem, Stokes' theorem, and related integral theorems -- Curvilinear coordinates -- Tensor analysis
Summary: This book is designed to be used either as a textbook for a formal course in vector analysis or as a very useful supplement to all current standard texts. It should also be of considerable value to those taking courses in physics, mechanics, electromagnetic theory, aerodynamics or any of the numerous other fields in which vector methods are employed. Topics covered include the algebra and the differential and integral calculus of vectors, Stokes' theorem, the divergence theorem and other integral theorems together with many applications drawn from various fields. added features are the chapters on curvilinear coordinates and tensor analysis which should prove extremely useful in the study of advanced engineering, physics and mathematics.
