Material is presented so that results emerge in a natural way. As in classical physics, we begin with descriptions of flows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be helpful for undergraduates in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, in programs that require vector calculus. At the same time, it also provides some of the mathematical background essential for more advanced contexts which include, for instance, the physics and engineering of continuous media and fields, axiomatically rigorous vector analysis, and the mathematical theory of differential forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a Supplement on mathematical understanding. The approach invites one to advert to one's own experience in mathematics and, that way, identify elements of understanding that emerge in all levels of learning and teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrerequisites are competence in single-variable calculus. Some familiarity with partial derivatives and the multi-variable chain rule would be helpful. But for the convenience of the reader we review essentials of single- and multi-variable calculus needed for the three main theorems of vector calculus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully developed Problems and Exercises are included, for many of which guidance or hints are provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 20, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42102502621319,"sku":"9789811222566","price":158.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c6d469b10eca608ca44a38ef2ab68a28.webp?v=1732404025","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/basic-insights-in-vector-calculus-with-a-supplement-on-mathematical-understanding-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
