This concise text was created as a workbook for learning to use vector calculus in practical calculations and derivations. Its only prerequisite is a familiarity with one-dimensional differential and integral calculus. Though it often makes use of physical examples, knowledge of physics itself is not required to study the mathematics of vector calculus. The approach is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics, physics, and other areas of science.The two-part treatment opens with a brief text that develops vector calculus from the very beginning and then addresses some more detailed applications. Topics include vector differential operators, vector identities, integral theorems, Dirac delta function, Green's functions, general coordinate systems, and dyadics. The second part consists of answered problems, all closely related to the development of vector calculus in the text. Those who study this book and work out the problems will find that rather than m

When plucky young Anne Beddingfeld comes to London, looking for adventure, she doesn't have to search for long. While waiting on the platform at Hyde Park Corner tube station, she watches in horror as a man loses his balance and tumbles to his death. The Scotland Yard investigation deems it an accident, but Anne is not convinced. Who was the man in the brown suit who examined the lifeless body? And why did he hurry off, leaving a note with the cryptic message "17.122 Kilmorden Castle"? Anne's zeal to follow the clue leads her aboard a South Africa–bound ocean liner, where she is plunged into a world of diamond thieves and political intrigue. The vessel's lively nightlife ranges from a torrid romance on the foredeck to the sudden appearance in her cabin of a bleeding man, to outright attempts on her life. Now she is confronted with a ship's roster of suspects and no way of knowing who she can trust. Praised by The Observer as "written with spirit and humour," this sprightly tale from ea
