Advanced vector analysis for scientists and engineers.9781845640934 Advanced vector analysis for scientists and engineers. Rahman, M. WIT Press 2007 306 pages $165.00 Hardcover QA433 This text illustrates the application of vector calculus Vector calculus (also called vector analysis) is a field of mathematics concerned with multivariate real analysis of vectors in a metric space with two or more dimensions (some results can only be applied to three dimensions[1]). to physical problems, and provides a wealth of solved problems to demonstrate the application of the theory. Coverage progresses from the algebra of vectors and vector functions of one variable, through integral theorems and orthogonal curvilinear curvilinear a line appearing as a curve; nonlinear. curvilinear regression see curvilinear regression. coordinate systems. Learning features include chapter summaries and exercises, plus appendices of solutions for selected exercises, a summary of important vector formulae, and an overview of the historical background of vector analysis. The text is suitable for a one-semester course for senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students in science and engineering. The author teaches applied mathematics and fluid mechanics fluid mechanics, branch of mechanics dealing with the properties and behavior of fluids, i.e., liquids and gases. Because of their ability to flow, liquids and gases have many properties in common not shared by solids. at Dalhousie University Dalhousie University (dălhou`zē), at Halifax, N.S., Canada; nonsectarian; coeducational; founded 1818 by the 9th earl of Dalhousie. Except for a few years between 1838 and 1845, Dalhousie did not function as a university until 1863. , Canada. The US office of WIT Press is Computational Mechanics Computational mechanics is the subject/profession concerned with the use of computational methods and devices to study phenomena governed by the principles of mechanics.
