Chapter 1 Vectors Object: to describe the fieds generated by electric charges and currents Mathematical tools A field is a function describing a quantity at all points in space
Chapter 1 Vectors ◼ Object: to describe the fieds generated by electric charges and currents ◼ Mathematical Tools: A field is a function describing a quantity at all points in space
Several kinds scalar fields vector fields tensor fields scalar fields: a single number is given for each point in space well known to us Example: temperature, pressure, electric potential, etc
Several kinds : scalar fields, vector fields, tensor fields ◼ scalar fields: a single number is given for each point in space ---- well known to us. Example: temperature, pressure, electric potential, etc
Tensor are necessary to unify electric and magnetic fields to describe the gravitational fields in Einstein' s Theory of General relativity; to deal with strain and stress in solids eto

We focus on vector fields Vector fields: both a number and a direction at all point in space Examples: electric fields, magnetic fields, current fields of fluid etc
