Vectors in Three-dimensional Space (1978) is a book concerned with physical quantities defined in "ordinary" 3-space.
It was written by J. S. R. Chisholm, an English mathematical physicist, and published by Cambridge University Press.
The author further states that "the vector concept developed in two different ways: in a wide variety of physical applications, vector notation and techniques became, by the middle of this century, almost universal; on the other hand, pure mathematicians reduced vector algebra to an axiomatic system, and introduced wide generalisations of the concept of a three-dimensional 'vector space'."
Chisholm explains that since these two developments proceeded largely independently, there is a need to show how one can be applied to the other.
The first on linear spaces and displacements including these sections: Introduction, Scalar multiplication of vectors, Addition and subtraction of vectors, Displacements in Euclidean space, Geometrical applications.
