Course Content (Syllabus)
Vectors in three dimensional space. Product of vectors (scalar, vector and triple) with applications to analytic geometry. Vector functions of one variable (differentiation, integration). Theory of curves in the three dimensional space (tangent, perpendicular plane). Vector functions of several variables (partial derivatives, total differential). Scalar and vector fields (gradient, divergence, rotation, laplacian). Differentiation of scalar field along a curve and direction. Theory of surfaces (vertical vector). Line integrals of vector fields (properties, conservative fields and potential function). Line integrals of scalar fields. Applications.
