This text illustrates the use of vectors as a mathematical tool in plane synthetic geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry, and analytic geometry of 2- and 3-dimensional space. Its rigorous development includes a complete treatment of the algebra of vectors. Most of the theorems include proofs, and coordinate position vectors receive an in-depth treatment. 1966 edition.
Republication of the New Jersey, 1966 edition.
