Students of the physical sciences and of physics, mechanics, electromagnetic theory, aerodynamics and a number of other fields will find this a rewarding and practical treatment of vector analysis. Key points are made memorable with the hundreds of problems with step-by-step solutions, and many review questions with answers. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent Course Analysis With Physically Myopic Flaw Different schools of thought have different checks and balanaces. These checks and balances take the forms of rules and norms with their own judgements of right and wrong. Probably the human mind can only take so many rules and norms at any one time; each school of thought somehow subconsciously understands this. Still, time and the wisdom that comes with it should make what I am saying obvious to all. And perhaps my point is indeed obvious to Prof. Spiegel. If so, he should note ... Read More Rating: - Easy written, lot of examplesThe book offers a good introduction to vector analysis for the undergraduate student. Quite simple, lot of practical examples. It is a good supplement to a more theoretical textbook. Also the price is fine. Rating:  - You won't be disappointedThis book is worth a whole lot more than the paltry sum they're charging. You really can't go wrong with any mathematics or physics material authored by Murray Spiegel but this text is in a class by itself. Even though it's a Schaum's "Outline", you'll find that it's actually a first rate textbook. I'd say it's an outstanding learning tool given the fact that I found myself actually enjoying working through it! Rating: - Superb! Easy to UnderstandHooray! Spiegel does a wonderful job of summarizing Vector Analysis simply and to the point. His definitions and explanations are concise and down-to-earth. Keep in mind this is an outline, and the format remains that way. But this is an extremely effective resource for this subject-- well done, IMO. The examples are often proofs, but are also a comprehensive overview of applications and standard problems. One criticism: sometimes, Spiegel introduces 'new' concepts (e.g. Jacobians) ... Read More Rating: - A didactical masterpieceI bought this book many years ago and soon I felt it extraordinary. My idea has not changed along years. Clear, comprehensive, readable, even pleasant. You can really learn vector analysis step by step without a teacher. And you learn to use what you learn. All topics about vectors are explored, included differential operators and some differential geometry. It covers also tensor analysis (the last two chapter are on curvilinear coodinates and tensor). In my opinion there is a little more than a mere ... Read More |
