Vector analysis is one of the most useful branches of mathematics. It is a highly scientific field that is used in practical problems arising in engineering and applied sciences. Based on notes gathered from many years of teaching vector calculus, the main purpose of the book is to illustrate the application of vector calculus to physical problems. The theory is explained elegantly and clearly and there is an abundance of solved problems to manifest the application of the theory. The beauty of this book is the richness of practical applications. There are eight chapters, each of which contains ample exercises. The book concludes with three appendices. Appendix A contains solutions to selected exercises, Appendix B contains a quick summary of important vector formulae and Appendix C contains the brief summary of the historical background of vector analysis. This book is suitable for a one-semester course for senior undergraduates and junior graduate students in science and engineering. It is also suitable for the scientists and engineers working on practical problems.
