Appendix A: Vector Calculus in Curvilinear CoordinatesĬolin Inglefield, an associate professor of physics at Weber State University (Utah), commented that the third edition is notable for its informal and conversational style that may appeal to a large class of students.Chapter 12: Electrodynamics and Relativity.The second inner cover contains the basic equations of electrodynamics, the accepted values of some fundamental constants, and the transformation equations for spherical and cylindrical coordinates.

The first inner cover contains vector identities, vector derivatives in Cartesian, spherical, and cylindrical coordinates, and the fundamental theorems of vector calculus. The front cover has a picture of the handwritten Poisson's equations for electricity and magnetism on a chalkboard.
