Divergence Theorem, I

Thursday, Apr 19, 2012
Also called Gauss's theorem. The divergence theorem connects the flux across a closed surface to the divergence of the vector field on the enclosed region. We begin by re-doing some of our earlier surface integrals using the divergence theorem

EXAM 3

Monday, Apr 09, 2012
16.1 -- 16.5, need to know the definition of conservative field, vector field, incompressible flow, irrotational flow. Need to know the statements of Green's theorem in both forms and to understand the terms simple, closed, postively oriented for curves

Flux, surface integral definition

Friday, Apr 06, 2012
We look at the notion of flux and use it to motivate the defintion of a surface integral. We then set about giving a computational method for evaluating surface integrals over parameterized surfaces. Next time we will do a bunch of computation

Surfaces

Thursday, Apr 05, 2012
We will parametrize some simple surfaces. This is the 2d analogue of a parametrized curve. Tomorrow we will talk about surface integrals and their relation to the flux of a vector field

Problems

Curl and Divergence and a digression about Navier Stokes.

Wednesday, Apr 04, 2012
The velocity field of a fluid is called incompressible if the divergence is 0. It is called irrotational if the curl is 0.

Curl and Divergence

Monday, Apr 02, 2012
The divergence of a vector field measures it's rate of expansion, while the curl measures its rotation. We defined these two operations on vector fields, and the way that the curl can be used to check whether a field is conservative. Next time we will look at the relation between curl and divergence and the start on surface integrals.

Problems

1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 21, 22

Green's Theorem version II

Friday, Mar 30, 2012
The second version of Green's theorem related the line integral of the vector field and the outward normal to a certain double integral over the enclosed region. This is the divergence-flux version of the theorem. Next time we will define curl, divergence and write Green's theorem in the most elegant way

Problems

Green's Theorem version I

Thursday, Mar 29, 2012

Line integrals of scalar-valued functions

Friday, Jan 13, 2012
The line integral of a scalar-valued function allows, for example, to compute the mass of a wire of non-uniform density. The formula requires that we integrate with respect to the arc-length s. The parametrization of a curve in terms of its arc-length is intrinsic. In general every curve has infinitely many parametrizations.
