Abstract
THIS useful work is well adapted for students entering upon a university honours course. The notation and fundamental principles of vector analysis are fully explained, and vector methods are freely though not so forbiddingly employed as to repel a generation which still finds it easier to think in terms of Cartesian methods than to apply a vector calculus ab initio.
