History of vector analysis
The "pre-Galilean vector analysis" was primarily the mathematical analysis of the movements of bodies according to the rules of vector arithmetic. The principle of kinematic became applied by Kepler to the motions of heavenly bodies, and by Galileo to the motions of bodies on the Earth's surface. Also, according to the principles of vector analysis, Galileo introduced to physics the vector product and the cross product, and formulated the laws of motion according to which the motion of any body is a combination of straight-line motion, circular motion and rotation.
Vector analysis in mathematics
Vector analysis is the study of the properties and methods for representing and manipulating vectors.
