Aim:
This course is a continuation of the course in multi variable calculus. Consequently, the aims are similar: to give students an understanding of mathematical concepts and familiarity with mathematical methods of analysis. Here, these aims relate to the treatment of functions of several variables and vector fields which arise in all branches of physics and engineering. Students will be expected to be able to do the following after completing this course:
- find potentials and vector potentials for a vector field
- find flow lines of a vector field
- calculate path and surface integrals
- use Gauss' and Stokes' theorems for calculations of flux and path integrals
- use spherical and cylindrical coordinates in calculations
