If the path P in question forms a closed loop (that is, if b = a),

Example 1.6

(path 1)

(path 2)

For the loop that goes out (1) and back (2)  Line, Surface, and Volume Integrals

(b) Surface Integrals. A is an expression of the form perpendicular to the surface

If the surface is closed

Example 1.8 1.3.2 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

OR

Fundamental theorem  the integral of a over an interval is given by the boundaries (the value of the at the end points)

In , there are three (, , and ),

Fundamental theorem for

Fundamental theorem for

 Gauss's theorem, Green's theorem, or, simply, the

Fundamental theorem for curls

 Stokes’ theorem 1.3.3 The Fundamental Theorem for Gradients

The integral (here a line integral) of a derivative (here the gradient) is given by the value of the function at the boundaries (a and b).

Example 1.9 Check the fundamental theorem for gradients.

 Let's go out along the x axis, step (i), and then up, step (ii) Are they consistent with the fundamental theorem?  Yes! T(b) – T(a) = 2 – 0 = 2

 Now, calculate the same integral along path (iii): 1.3.4 The Fundamental Theorem for Divergences

The integral (here a volume integral) of a derivative (here the divergence) is given by the value of the function at the boundaries (surface).

 Gauss's theorem  Green's theorem  Divergence theorem

If v represents the flow of an incompressible fluid, then the of v is the total amount of fluid passing out through the surface, per unit time.

Example 1.10 Check the divergence theorem using the function

 In this case,

 To evaluate the surface integral,

~ 1.3.5 The Fundamental Theorem for Curls

The integral (here a surface integral) of a derivative (here the curl) is given by the value of the function at the boundaries (perimeter of the surface).

 Stokes’ theorem

For dl, which way are we supposed to go around (clockwise or counterclockwise)? For da, which way does it point? which way is "out?"  Consistency in Stokes' theorem  Let’s Keep the right-hand rule

Example 1.11 1.3.6

Integrating both sides

 We can transfer the derivative from g to f,  at the cost of a minus sign and a boundary term.

Example 1.12

Note:

by the product rules of vector calculus

From the divergence theorem  Same as the integration by parts 1.4 A.1 (orthogonal) Curvilinear Coordinates: (,,uvw )

polar angle xr sin cos yr sin sin zr cos  azimuthal angle

Beware that The unit vectors, , at a particular point P, change direction as P moves around.  Do not naively combine the spherical components of vectors associated with different points

The unit vectors themselves are functions of position  Do not take outside the integral Spherical Polar Coordinates (,r  , )
