Study Notes

Vector Fields

  • A vector field assigns a vector to each point in a given space
  • For a 2D vector field, F(x, y) is a vector in the x-y plane
  • For a 3D vector field, F (x, y, z) is a vector in the x-y-z space

Examples of vector fields

  • F(x, y) = (-y, x)
  • F(x, y) = (x, -y)
  • F(x, y) = (y, x)
  • F(x,y) = (P, Q) = (x, -y)

Gradient Field Vector

  • f(x,y)= fx (x,y)î + fy (x,y)ĵ

Line Integrals

  • Given a vector field F(x,y) and a curve C from a to b
  • The line integral of F along C is calculated using the formula: ∫ab F(x(t), y(t)) * √(x'(t)²+(y'(t))²)dt
  • Line Integrals of vector fields are often calculated using parameterisation

Green's Theorem

  • Relates a line integral around a simple closed curve C to a double integral over the plane region D enclosed by C.
  • ∮C Pdx + Qdy = ∬D (Qx - Py) dA

Curl & Divergence

  • Curl: Measures the tendency of a vector field to rotate around a point.
  • Divergence: Measures the tendency of a vector field to expand or contract at a point.

Parametric Surfaces & Area

  • A parametric surface is defined by a vector-valued function r(u, v) = (x(u, v), y(u, v), z(u, v)),

  • The area of a surface S is calculated using a double integral:

    ∫∫D |ru × rv| dA.
    where ru is the partial derivative of r with respect to u, rv is the partial derivative of r with respect to v, and D is the parameter domain.

Surface Integrals

  • A surface integral is a type of integral that is calculated over a surface in space.

  • The general form of a surface integral over a surface S with a given function F(x,y,z) is given as follows :

∫∫S F(x, y, z) dS = ∫∫D F(r(u,v)) * |ru × rv| dA

  • where r is the parameterization of the surface S.
