Summary
This second edition has been completely restructured, resulting in a compelling description of vector analysis from its first appearance as a byproduct of Hamilton’s quaternions to the use of vectors in solving geometric problems. The result provides readers from different backgrounds with a complete introduction to vector analysis. The author shows why vectors are so useful and how it is possible to develop analytical skills in manipulating vector algebra.

Critics Review
“Each chapter presents some topic from vector analysis and contains a well-developed derivation and mathematical demonstration that makes following the topic easier. … The book is written in a very accessible fashion. The author gives many examples presenting the notations and problems considered, making study easier. The book is suitable for undergraduate students of computer science, mathematics, and engineering, and is an ideal reference for researchers and professionals in computer graphics.” (Krzysztof Gdawiec, zbMATH 1478.68008, 2022)
About The Author
John Vince
Professor John Vince began working in computer graphics at Middlesex Polytechnic in 1968. His research activities centered on computer animation software and resulted in the PICASO and PRISM animation systems. Whilst at Middlesex, he designed the UK’s first MSc course in Computer Graphics and developed a popular program of short courses in computer animation for television designers. In 1986 he joined Rediffusion Simulation as a Research Consultant and worked on the development of real-time computer systems for commercial flight simulators. In 1992 he was appointed Chief Scientist of Thomson Training Simulation Ltd. In 1995 he was appointed Professor of Digital Media at the National Centre for Computer Animation at Bournemouth University and in 1999 he was made Head of Academic Group for Computer Animation. He was awarded a DSc by Brunel University in recognition of his work in computer graphics. He has written and edited over 45 books on computer graphics, computer animation, computer science and virtual reality, including the following titles:
- Mathematics for Computer Graphics, 5th edition (2017)
- Calculus for Computer Graphics, 2nd edition (2019)
- Imaginary Mathematics for Computer Science, (2018)
- Foundation Mathematics for Computer Science, 2nd edition (2015)
- Matrix Transforms for Computer Games and Animation (2012)
