Overview

Since this Introduction to Vector Analysis and Quaternions was first published in 1896, the study of the subject has become much more general; and whereas some reviewers then regarded the analysis as a luxury, it is now recognized as a necessity for the exact student of physics or engineering. In America, Professor Hathaway has published a Primer of Quaternions (New York, 1896), and Dr. Wilson has amplified and extended Professor Gibbs' lectures on vector analysis into a text-book for the use of students of mathematics and physics (New York, 1901). In Great Britain, Professor Henrici and Mr. Turner have published a manual for students entitled Vectors and Rotors (London, 1903); Dr. Knott has prepared a new edition of Kelland and Tait's Introduction to Quaternions (London, 1904); and Professor Joly has realized Hamilton's idea of a Manual ofQuaternions (London, 1905). In Germany Dr. Bucherer has published Elemente der Vektoranalysis (Leipzig, 1903) which has now reached a second edition.
