Download or read book Basic Insights In Vector Calculus With A Supplement On Mathematical Understanding written by Terrance J Quinn and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic Insights in Vector Calculus provides an introduction to three famous theorems of vector calculus, Green's theorem, Stokes' theorem and the divergence theorem (also known as Gauss's theorem). Material is presented so that results emerge in a natural way. As in classical physics, we begin with descriptions of flows.The book will be helpful for undergraduates in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, in programs that require vector calculus. At the same time, it also provides some of the mathematical background essential for more advanced contexts which include, for instance, the physics and engineering of continuous media and fields, axiomatically rigorous vector analysis, and the mathematical theory of differential forms.There is a Supplement on mathematical understanding. The approach invites one to advert to one's own experience in mathematics and, that way, identify elements of understanding that emerge in all levels of learning and teaching.Prerequisites are competence in single-variable calculus. Some familiarity with partial derivatives and the multi-variable chain rule would be helpful. But for the convenience of the reader we review essentials of single- and multi-variable calculus needed for the three main theorems of vector calculus.Carefully developed Problems and Exercises are included, for many of which guidance or hints are provided.

Download or read book Vector Calculus Using Mathematica Second Edition written by Steven Tan and published by Steven Tan. This book was released on 2020-07-11 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to vector calculus with the aid of Mathematica® computer algebra system to represent them and to calculate with them. The unique features of the book, which set it apart from the existing textbooks, are the large number of illustrative examples. It is the author’s opinion a novice in science or engineering needs to see a lot of examples in which mathematics is used to be able to “speak the language.” All these examples and all illustrations can be replicated and used to learn and discover vector calculus in a new and exciting way. Reader can practice with the solutions, and then modify them to solve the particular problems assigned. This should move up problem solving skills and to use Mathematica® to visualize the results and to develop a deeper intuitive understanding. Usually, visualization provides much more insight than the formulas themselves. The second edition is an addition of the first. Two new chapters on line integrals, Green's Theorem, Stokes's Theorem and Gauss's Theorem have been added.
Download or read book Vector Analysis written by Kenneth Miller and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief and inexpensive text is intended to provide a modern introduction to vector analysis analysis in R2 and R3 to complement the very rigorous and wonderfully written presentation of classical analysis in my soon-to-be-published book, Old School Advanced Calculus by W'illiam Benjamin Fite. While this book is otherwise very comprehensive, the presentation of functions of several variables in it is purely analytic and rather archaic in nature. Fite is intended as a model of what the standard year-long advanced calculus course-which has largely been abandoned at most universities since the l980's-would look like. Such courses were intended not onlv for mathematics majors, but serious physical science majors, for whom of course vector analysis is a necessary part of their mathematical training. Therefore, the absence of the differential and integral calculus of vector valued functions in low dimensional Euclidean spaces is a highly problematic lacuna in the book. The concurrent republication of this book by Miller is intended the rectify this. While the language of the book is classical in many regards, Miller is careful when possible to connect the material to modern formulations so he doesn't alienate mathematics majors reading the book. The best examples are in the first chapter, where he carefully lays out century vector algebra using "arrows" while detailing their algebraic structure as a vector space over the real or complex numbers. This keeps the book's intended audience very general, inviting not only mathematics majors, but physics, engineering and professionals in other fields that need to either review or learn this material. Also, most of the current standard books on vector analysis are rather expensive and lengthy. While Dover Books has made available a number of classical books on vector analysis at a very affordable price, many of these are quite old fashioned and may be difficult for students to read -either by itself or used in conjunction with another text or the instructor's notes-will give students a very affordable option that's still presented in a full modern context. The hope is that although the book is intended to supplement Fite, it can and should be used as a vector analysis text in its' own right Indeed, the hope is that because of the book's brevity and low cost, it will become an indispensable study aid for students who need to either learn or review this material quickly and accurately.
