THIS “Introduction to Vector-methods and their Various Applications to Physics and Mathematics” is an exposition of the late Willard Gibbs' vector analysis. The author in his preface warns us that “no ...

Last month, we saw how you can use vectors to define complex circuits and determine current. This month, we'll show you how to use vector diagrams and some simple math to calculate neutral currents in ...

Last month, we showed how you could use vector diagrams and simple math to calculate neutral currents in 3-phase, 4-wire circuits. In this last installment, we'll talk about using simple parallelogram ...

IN books on mathematics and physics where vector analysis is used it is customary to use clarendon or thick-letter type to distinguish vector from scalar quantities. This practice has, among others, ...
