 We covered the computation of scalar integrals and work integrals, doing examples for both. We also covered various properties of curves (reversability, for instance) and wrote down properties of line integrals that will be attempted as part of the homework. We covered the computation of scalar integrals and work integrals, doing examples for both.

   * Chap 4: Finishing up the result on work integrals and kinetic energy   * Chap 4: Finishing up the result on work integrals and kinetic energy
   * Chap 5: Parameterisation of surfaces   * Chap 5: Parameterisation of surfaces
 +
 +We discussed how surfaces can be parameterised, either via explicit, implicit, or parameteric representations. We discussed equations of planes and normals, and finally the computation of normals to surfaces.

 +==== 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.
