Abstract
THIS book has for its object the presentation of vector analysis in a form suitable for the study of theoretical electricity and hydrodynamics. The text is therefore devoted to a thorough analysis of vector fields, together with a consideration of those quantities which characterise each type of field. Fundamental operations and general properties of scalar and vector fields are excellently dealt with in the first seven chapters, thus providing a sound basis for the more advanced work on detailed analysis, properties of potentials and linear vector functions which follows.
Vector Analysis.
