商品描述

If you have been confused by vectors, vector calculus, tensor analysis, or quaternions, this book is for you. Packed with examples, including Matlab examples, this book will show you: How to use Matlab to calculate dot and cross products, and solve linear equations;How to prove any vector identity using Cartesian tensors;How to derive the expressions for gradient, divergence, Laplacian, and curl in any curvilinear coordinate system;How to understand covariant and contravariant components of a vector;The meaning of Christoffel symbols in covariant differentiation;How to derive the curvature tensor;How quaternions can be used to describe vector rotations in 3-D space.

如果你對向量、向量微積分、張量分析或四元數感到困惑,那麼這本書就是為你而寫的。本書充滿了範例,包括 Matlab 範例,將向你展示:如何使用 Matlab 計算點積和叉積,並解決線性方程;如何使用笛卡爾張量證明任何向量恆等式;如何推導任何曲線坐標系中的梯度、散度、拉普拉斯算子和旋度的表達式;如何理解向量的共變和反變分量;Christoffel 符號在共變微分中的意義;如何推導曲率張量;以及四元數如何用來描述三維空間中的向量旋轉。

作者簡介

Richard E. Haskell is Emeritus Professor of Engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Oakland University's School of Engineering and Computer Science. He received his Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1963. Following three years in the Air Force, where he conducted research at the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories at Hanscom Field in Bedford, MA, he joined the faculty at Oakland University in Rochester, MI, where he helped to establish the new School of Engineering (later to become the School of Engineering and Computer Science). He served on the faculty at Oakland University for 46 years, where he developed and taught a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate courses, including courses in electromagnetic theory, coherent optics, pattern recognition, computer programming, microprocessors, embedded systems and digital design. His research interests included plasma physics, holography and coherent optics, pattern recognition and image processing, computer learning, and microprocessor applications and embedded systems. He is the author of over 30 books, ranging from Plasma Dynamics to Digital Design.
