Vector is one of the important concepts necessary for the study of Physics, Applied Mathematics and Engineering. This book presents the principal topics in the subject-scalars, vectors, vector algebra, vector differentiation and the differential operator, vector integration and integral theorems-in a clear and simple manner. For each topic, the definitions of important terms, properties and deductions are provided, along with worked-out examples and figures to ensure in-depth understanding and comprehension. Salient Features The subject is discussed in a systematic manner to cater to the needs of learners More than 220 figures supplement the text Over 330 worked-out examples are presented End-of-chapter exercises comprise 418 practical problems and 221 objective type questions (with answers wherever applicable) The book will also be useful to students preparing for competitive examinations like IIT JAM, NET, SET and GATE About the Author Prasun Kumar Nayak is Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics (UG & PG), Midnapore College (Autonomous), Midnapore, West Bengal.
