Elements of vector analysis
117. This is a very rare work printed at New Haven, Connecticut, for use only
in Gibbs's classes at Yale (hence the phrase "not published" on the cover
sheet). Gibbs, a well-known scientist in the 19th century, helped develop
vector analysis into a useful mathematical tool along with his British
counterpart, Oliver Heaviside. Gibbs and Heaviside used the new methods of
vector analysis to express Maxwell's laws of thermodynamics in a more concise
form (the expressions we now call "Maxwell's Laws").
