Vectors

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

Vectors in two dimensions are generally studied in schools; I do not suppose that the study is often pushed into three dimensions. But it is difficult to understand a modern book on electricity without some knowledge of three-dimensional vector notation.

The particular point that I wish to bring before you is that the two-dimensional case is often presented in such a way that its relation to the more general case is obscured.
