In geosciences, following the developing of technology and computer, mathematics concerned with geoscientific problems is becoming more and more important. From modern satellite-positioning, the Earth's surface deviates from a sphere, therefore, spherical functions and concepts play an essential part in all geosciences. This book concentrates the introduction of mathematical representation of spherical vector and tensor fields. Vector/tensor spherical harmonics are used throughout mathematics. This book is a valuable reference for scientists and practitioners when facing spherical problems.
