Geared toward undergraduate students, this text illustrates the use of vectors as a mathematical tool in plane synthetic geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry, and analytic geometry of two- and three-dimensional space. Its rigorous development includes a complete treatment of the algebra of vectors in the first two chapters. Most of the theorems include proofs, and coordinate position vectors receive an in-depth treatment. Key concepts for generalized vector spaces are clearly presented and developed, and 57 worked-out illustrative examples and 258 exercise problems aid students in mastering the concepts. Answers to odd-numbered exercises appear at the end of the book. 1966 ed.Pettofrezzo, Anthony J. is the author of 'Vectors and Their Applications' with ISBN 9780486445212 and ISBN 0486445216.
