Excerpt from Elements of Vector Algebra
This little book was written at the instance of Messrs. Adam Hilger, and, in accordance with their desire, it contains just what is required for the purpose of reading and handling my Simplified Method of Tracing Rays, etc. (Longmans, Green & Co., London, 1918). With this practical aim in view, all critical subtleties have been purposely avoided. In fact, it is scarcely more than a synoptical presentation of the elements of Vector Algebra covering the needs of those engaged in geometrical optics. At the same time, however, it is hoped that this booklet will serve a more general purpose, viz. to provide everybody unacquainted with the subject with an easy introduction to the use of Vector Algebra.
It is scarcely necessary to explain that the deductions given in this book are based on Euclid's axioms, notably with the inclusion of his postulate of parallels - upon which the equality of vectors is most essentially based. Those readers who are desirous of seeing how the formal rules here given can be generalized so as to be valid independently of the axioms of congruence and of parallels, may consult the author's Projective Vector Algebra (Bell & Sons, 1919), and a sequel to it published in Phil. Mag. for July, 1919, pp. 115-143. It is, however, advisable for the student to become first thoroughly familiar with the euclidean vector algebra as here presented.
I take the opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks to Messrs. Hilger for enabling me to make this further contribution towards the promotion of the more general use of this powerful and convenient language of vectors, and to the Publishers for the care they have bestowed upon this little book.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an introduction to vector algebra, a mathematical language used to describe and solve problems involving direction and magnitude. The author has aimed to make the subject easy to understand for both students and practitioners of geometry and physics. Throughout the book, helpful examples and exercises are included to illustrate the concepts and applications of vector algebra. The book covers the essential topics of vector algebra, including the addition and subtraction of vectors, vector multiplication, and the scalar product. Subsequent chapters explore the topics of the linear vector operator and the principal axes of a symmetrical operator. The depth of the subjects' exploration and the clarity with which the book conveys its concepts make it an excellent resource for anyone wishing to build a sound understanding of vector algebra. By studying this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the subject's fundamental principles, enhancing their problem-solving capabilities and broadening their knowledge of the field.
