A Handy Introduction to Vectors, Vector Calculus, & Tensors

I learned vectors and vector calculus from this little book, many years ago, and also the rudiments of tensor calculus. I still have occasion to refer to it. The brief treatment of the Serret-Frenet formulae for lines in space, and their application to particle kinematics, is nice, and not overly common in introductory texts."Vector and Tensor Analysis" seems to have been written for Dover, unlike the vast majority of their scientific monographs. The fact that it continues to sell, nearly 50 years after it first appeared, says as much about its merits as anything I could.
