C.4 Supplementary reading [coordinates top]

For the introductory vector analysis presented here, Gibbs [266], Aris [267], and Greenberg [268] all provide useful treatment.

This appendix lists out vector operations in a number of coordinate systems as a guide to the reader. We have omitted the more general approach, which is to write vector operations in terms of general orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems, as discussed in [557]. Reference [269], furthermore, covers semi-orthogonal interfacial coordinates in detail.

This text focuses on symbolic or Gibbs notation and omits Cartesian or Einstein notation. Cartesian notation provides a much more compact treatment of vector/tensor operations in rectangular coordinate systems, and is discussed in [56658].
