Abstract
This thesis is a syllabus of a two hour undergraduate course in vector geometry. Vector analysis is usually a graduate course which has its application in the fields of physical science. The course as proposed in this thesis is an elementary geometry of vectors suitable for the mathematical curriculum of the sophmore year.
The course is divided into twenty-eight unit assignments, allowing eight periods for review and testing. This gives the course elasticity, and allows the instructor to give diagnostic tests with the accompnaying remedial and review work.
Direct statments of the theorems of formulas are given, with the proofs or demonstrations left for the instructor.
Vector geometry will enrich the curriculum offering of the undergraduate college and will furnish a needed foundation for the study of advanced mathematics and science.
