+ | * Continued review of multivariable calculus (Chap. 2) | ||
+ | * Line integrals (Chap. 3) | ||
+ | |||
+ | We reviewed key notions of Riemann integration (the idea of adding up infinitesimal elements), then started investigating the notion of a scalar line integral. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Lecture 3 (7 Feb 2020) ==== | ||
+ | * A continued look at Chapter 3 (line integrals) | ||
+ | |||
+ | We covered the computation of scalar integrals and work integrals, doing examples for both. We also covered various properties of curves (reversability, | ||

+ | * Chap 2: definition of conservative fields | ||
+ | * Chap 4: link of conservative fields and work integrals | ||
+ | |||
+ | We discussed the definition of conservative fields, and covered the important (BIG) theorem on conservative forces, and discussed its importance in the computation of work integrals. We ended with a result linking work integrals with change in kinetic energy (to be completed in lecture 5). | ||

+ | * Chap 4: Finishing up the result on work integrals and kinetic energy | ||

+ | |||
+ | We discussed how surfaces can be parameterised, | ||

+ | ==== Lecture 6 (14 Feb 2020) ==== | ||
+ | * Chap 5: Finished the proof to the final Lemma about normals to surfaces | ||
+ | * Chap 6: Stated the two main results (flux integral and surface integral) | ||
+ | |||
+ | We discussed how to interpret surface integrals, and how to calculate the two main surface integrals (a scalar one and a vector one). This involved writing dS as a cross product. We did an example with a sphere. | ||
