Vector: A Surprising Story of Space, Time, and Mathematical Transformation

I thoroughly enjoyed the book; it is well-written and informative. I wish such books were part of my maths curriculum; they would have made maths much more comprehensible. One minor criticism: the narrative occasionally veered off into tedious feminist flag-waving, as if the author found it so exceptional that women had any part to play.I look forward to the time when it is unquestionably accepted that the chicks are a natural part of the process without all this tiresome point-scoring😎..

It's a very impressive historical account of maths developments leading to calculus, the concepts of vectors and tensors, matrices and some applications of advanced algebra. Not an easy read for me personally and right now I'm struggling with Hamilton's rewriting of addition and subtraction rules, but definitely worth the effort.

Interesting read clear lucid explanations of complex math for non math reader . Cover important topics electromagnetism , gravity historical personal context.

A lucid account of the development of vector analysis which is fascinating historically and made it all comprehensible, even to a non-mathematician like me!

The best introduction to relativity theory

A fascinating background to the development of an important branch of maths and the role played by those who created it. You don't need to understand every bit of the maths to appreciate it

I couldn't put it down.

Nor worked through it all yet, but it’s much better than I expected
