It has been mentioned in the preface that an electromagnetic field is a vectorfield.Accordingly，vector analysis is one of the basic mathematical tools for studyingthe properties of electromagnetic fields. A concise account of the relevant subjects invector analysis will be given in this chapter，beginning with the definition of a vector，vector algebra，and vector calculus in the rectangular coordinate system.This is fol-lowed by the derivation of the representations of a vector and vector operators in thecylindrical and spherical coordinates，based on coordinate transformations.Beyondthis，a number of important theorems，namely the divergence theorem，the curl theo-rem，Green's theorem，the uniqueness theorem，and Helmhaltz's theorem are elabo-rated in this chapter as well.
1-1 Scalars and vectors
A quantity is called a scalar if it has only magnitude. Length，area，vol-ume，temperature，atmospheric pressure，density，energy，and electric potential areexamples of scalars. A quantity is called a vector if it has both magnitude anddirection.Force，displacement，velocity，acceleration，electric field intensity，andmagnetic field intensity are examples of vectors.In this book，vectors will be repre-sented by boldface italic types. The distribution of a quantity in space will consti-tute a field.Hence，there are scalar fields and vector fields，accounting for the spa-tial distributions of scalars and vectors，respectively.
A vector is geometrically described by a segment of a directed straight-line，asshown in Fig.1-1-1（a）.The length of the segment stands for the magnitude of thevector，and its orientation gives the direction of the vector.
