Understanding Vector Calculus

This concise text is a workbook for using vector calculus in practical calculations and derivations. Part One briefly develops vector calculus from the beginning and addresses more detailed applications. Part Two consists of answered problems. Physical examples are often employed but no familiarity with physics is necessary to study the mathematics of vector calculus, only a knowledge of one-dimensional differential and integral calculus.
