  • Lecture 11 Line Integrals of Vector-Valued Functions (Cont'd)
    Lecture 11 Line integrals of vector-valued functions (cont’d) In the previous lecture, we considered the following physical situation: A force, F(x), which is not necessarily constant in space, is acting on a mass m, as the mass moves along a curve C from point P to point Q as shown in the diagram below. z Q P m F(x(t)) x(t) C y x The goal is to compute the total amount of work W done by the force. Clearly the constant force/straight line displacement formula, W = F · d , (1) where F is force and d is the displacement vector, does not apply here. But the fundamental idea, in the “Spirit of Calculus,” is to break up the motion into tiny pieces over which we can use Eq. (1 as an approximation over small pieces of the curve. We then “sum up,” i.e., integrate, over all contributions to obtain W . The total work is the line integral of the vector field F over the curve C: W = F · dx . (2) ZC Here, we summarize the main steps involved in the computation of this line integral: 1. Step 1: Parametrize the curve C We assume that the curve C can be parametrized, i.e., x(t)= g(t) = (x(t),y(t), z(t)), t ∈ [a, b], (3) so that g(a) is point P and g(b) is point Q. From this parametrization we can compute the velocity vector, ′ ′ ′ ′ v(t)= g (t) = (x (t),y (t), z (t)) . (4) 1 2. Step 2: Compute field vector F(g(t)) over curve C F(g(t)) = F(x(t),y(t), z(t)) (5) = (F1(x(t),y(t), z(t), F2(x(t),y(t), z(t), F3(x(t),y(t), z(t))) , t ∈ [a, b] .

  • Partial Derivatives
    Partial Derivatives Partial Derivatives Just as derivatives can be used to explore the properties of functions of 1 vari- able, so also derivatives can be used to explore functions of 2 variables. In this section, we begin that exploration by introducing the concept of a partial derivative of a function of 2 variables. In particular, we de…ne the partial derivative of f (x; y) with respect to x to be f (x + h; y) f (x; y) fx (x; y) = lim h 0 h ! when the limit exists. That is, we compute the derivative of f (x; y) as if x is the variable and all other variables are held constant. To facilitate the computation of partial derivatives, we de…ne the operator @ = “The partial derivative with respect to x” @x Alternatively, other notations for the partial derivative of f with respect to x are @f @ f (x; y) = = f (x; y) = @ f (x; y) x @x @x x 2 2 EXAMPLE 1 Evaluate fx when f (x; y) = x y + y : Solution: To do so, we write @ @ @ f (x; y) = x2y + y2 = x2y + y2 x @x @x @x and then we evaluate the derivative as if y is a constant. In partic- ular, @ 2 @ 2 fx (x; y) = y x + y = y 2x + 0 @x @x That is, y factors to the front since it is considered constant with respect to x: Likewise, y2 is considered constant with respect to x; so that its derivative with respect to x is 0. Thus, fx (x; y) = 2xy: Likewise, the partial derivative of f (x; y) with respect to y is de…ned f (x; y + h) f (x; y) fy (x; y) = lim h 0 h ! 1 when the limit exists.

  • Partial Differential Equations a Partial Difierential Equation Is a Relationship Among Partial Derivatives of a Function

  • Notes for Math 136: Review of Calculus
    Notes for Math 136: Review of Calculus Gyu Eun Lee These notes were written for my personal use for teaching purposes for the course Math 136 running in the Spring of 2016 at UCLA. They are also intended for use as a general calculus reference for this course. In these notes we will briefly review the results of the calculus of several variables most frequently used in partial differential equations. The selection of topics is inspired by the list of topics given by Strauss at the end of section 1.1, but we will not cover everything. Certain topics are covered in the Appendix to the textbook, and we will not deal with them here. The results of single-variable calculus are assumed to be familiar. Practicality, not rigor, is the aim. This document will be updated throughout the quarter as we encounter material involving additional topics. We will focus on functions of two real variables, u = u(x;t). Most definitions and results listed will have generalizations to higher numbers of variables, and we hope the generalizations will be reasonably straightforward to the reader if they become necessary. Occasionally (notably for the chain rule in its many forms) it will be convenient to work with functions of an arbitrary number of variables. We will be rather loose about the issues of differentiability and integrability: unless otherwise stated, we will assume all derivatives and integrals exist, and if we require it we will assume derivatives are continuous up to the required order. (This is also generally the assumption in Strauss.) 1 Differential calculus of several variables 1.1 Partial derivatives Given a scalar function u = u(x;t) of two variables, we may hold one of the variables constant and regard it as a function of one variable only: vx(t) = u(x;t) = wt(x): Then the partial derivatives of u with respect of x and with respect to t are defined as the familiar derivatives from single variable calculus: ¶u dv ¶u dw = x ; = t : ¶t dt ¶x dx c 2016, Gyu Eun Lee.

  • Vector Calculus and Differential Forms with Applications To
    Vector Calculus and Differential Forms with Applications to Electromagnetism Sean Roberson May 7, 2015 PREFACE This paper is written as a final project for a course in vector analysis, taught at Texas A&M University - San Antonio in the spring of 2015 as an independent study course. Students in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the sciences usually go through a sequence of three calculus courses before go- ing on to differential equations, real analysis, and linear algebra. In the third course, traditionally reserved for multivariable calculus, stu- dents usually learn how to differentiate functions of several variable and integrate over general domains in space. Very rarely, as was my case, will professors have time to cover the important integral theo- rems using vector functions: Green’s Theorem, Stokes’ Theorem, etc. In some universities, such as UCSD and Cornell, honors students are able to take an accelerated calculus sequence using the text Vector Cal- culus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms by John Hamal Hubbard and Barbara Burke Hubbard. Here, students learn multivariable cal- culus using linear algebra and real analysis, and then they generalize familiar integral theorems using the language of differential forms. This paper was written over the course of one semester, where the majority of the book was covered. Some details, such as orientation of manifolds, topology, and the foundation of the integral were skipped to save length. The paper should still be readable by a student with at least three semesters of calculus, one course in linear algebra, and one course in real analysis - all at the undergraduate level.
