I had a book on dot and cross products, and the author presented his material in terms of Maxwell's equations. It's a popular book. Alas, I can't remember the title or author. I was going to loan it to a friend but found the book missing.

The book isn't long at all and is a paperback book.

I know I'm not offering a lot of information, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind. I found the book buried. It's "div grad curl and all that", by H. M. Schey.
