About Book

“Elementary Vector Analysis” by Prof. Dr. Nawazish Ali Shah is a foundational textbook tailored for undergraduate students of mathematics, physics, and engineering. The book offers a clear and methodical introduction to vector algebra and vector calculus—two essential branches of mathematics used widely in mechanics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics.

This edition emphasizes conceptual clarity and practical problem-solving. Key topics include vector addition, dot and cross products, lines and planes in space, gradient, divergence, curl, and applications of vector calculus theorems such as Gauss’s and Stokes’s. The author’s step-by-step approach, combined with solved examples and illustrative diagrams, helps students grasp complex ideas with ease.

Used across universities in Pakistan and recognized by educators for its academic rigor, this book serves not just as a course companion but also as a reference for competitive exam preparation like GAT, CSS, and engineering entry tests. It is ideal for those beginning their journey in mathematical physics or engineering mathematics and seeking to develop a strong analytical base.
