Extract

Contemporary writers of textbooks on electricity and magnetism and on hydrodynamics make considerable use of the complex variable in two-dimensional problems. It seems strange that two-dimensional dynamics is not taught in this way, even though the application of vectors to three-dimensional dynamics has now become respectable. Mr. Buckley's article preceding this has shown how the basic results may be established. The following examples are further indications of how this powerful technique may be profitably employed in two-dimensional kinematics. The methods are essentially labour-saving.
