Summary: An outstanding tutorial reference
Comment: I love this book. I've owned three copies of it over the years and I can honestly say that I would not have achieved the final class of degree in Physics that I did without it.

The learning curve is very gentle - really nothing is assumed about the reader's background beyond basic integral and differential calculus. The concepts of vectors are introduced one by one, and the book builds logically towards its final stages (introductory tensor analysis) via, inter alia, dot and cross products, partial differential operators on vector spaces (grad, div, curl, Laplacian etc.), line and surface integrals (along with vital allied therorems such as Stokes' and Green's theorems), and general theory of curvilinear coordinate systems (in which the differential operators are refined and generalised).

This book is absolutely ideal for an undergraduate course in Physics, Electronic Engineering or Vector Analysis.

Summary: Best book on Vector Analysis...
Comment: Best book on Vector Analysis. No match for it. Must buy.

Summary: Good by itself
Comment: Although this series of books is intended to supplement a class textbook, this one is pretty good in helping you learn vectors by itself. It explains all the terminology and gives you quick examples.

For the problems here, there are some solved problems, which walk you through the process of finding the answer. The supplementary problems, to help you test your knowledge, have the answers there. This used to bother me because I wanted to see if I could get the answer. Here, the author is just trying to help you master the process. You can always cover up the answer.

Topics in this volume include tensor analysis, curvilinear coordinates, vector integration and differentiation, integral theorems, and dot and cross product. All are helpful and easy to understand.
