Applied Vector Analysis, Second Edition (Electrical Engineering Textbook Series) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

In engineering and applied science, the practical problems that arise are often described using mathematical models. In order to interpret these figures and make a judicious decision relating to such problems, engineers and scientists need ample knowledge of vector analysis. Illustrating the application of vector analysis to physical problems, this new edition of Applied Vector Analysis expands its coverage of the field to encompass new concepts, such as the divergence theorem, position vectors, and Berouilli's equation. It provides the grounding in vector analysis engineers and scientists require with an emphasis on practical applications This user-friendly volume is divided into seven chapters, each providing a clear manifestation of theory and its application to real-life problems. Beginning with a brief historical background of vector calculus, the authors introduce the algebra of vectors using a single variable. Within this framework, the book goes on to discuss the Del operator, which plays a significant role in displaying physical problems in mathematical notation. Chapter 6 contains important integral theorems, such as Green's theorem, Stokes theorem, and divergence theorem. Specific applications of these theorems are described using selected examples in fluid flow, electromagnetic theory, and the Poynting vector in Chapter 7. The appendices supply important vector formulas at a glance and mathematical explanations to selected examples from within the text. One of the most valuable branches of mathematics, vector analysis is pertinent to the investigation of physical problems encountered in many disciplines. Using real-world applications, concise explanations of fundamental concepts, and extensive examples, Applied Vector Analysis, Second Edition provides a clear cut exposition of the fields' practical uses.
