These notes are meant to be a support for the vector calculus module (MA2VC/MA3VC) taking place at the University of Reading in the Autumn term 2016. The present document does not substitute the notes taken in class, where more examples and
Vector Calculus and Multiple Integrals. Rob Fender, HT 2018. COURSE SYNOPSIS, RECOMMENDED BOOKS. Course syllabus (on which exams are based): Double integrals and their evaluation by repeated integration in Cartesian, plane polar and other specified coordinate systems. Jacobians.
8 Components of Vectors{numerical addition of vectors Any vector on the x-yplane can be reduced to the sum of two vectors, one along the xaxis, and the other along the yaxis.
Vector Calculus. Overview. Many of the situations analyzed in classical mechanics involve quantities that are functions of vectors. We will look at the special techniques used in such cases. The simplest is a vector quantity that depends on a scalar quantity, such as the dependence of position (or velocity, or acceleration) on time.
1.3 Unit vectors. A unit vector (sometimes called versor) is a vector with magnitude equal to one. e.g. Three unit vectors defined by orthogonal components of the Cartesian coordinate system: z. k. i = (1,0,0), obviously jij = 1. j = (0,1,0), jjj = 1. k = (0,0,1), jkj = 1.
The idea behind the vector calculus is to utilize vectors and their functions for analytical calculations, i.e. calculations without geometrical considerations. It is possible if any vector is completely represented it terms of numbers, not directed line segments. (6.1.1)
Every equation that we use in physics must have the same type of units on both sides of the equals sign. Our basic unit types (dimensions) are length (L), time (T) and mass (M).
