              Multiple Integrals and Vector Calculus
                                  Prof. F.W. Nijhoff
                                 Semester 1, 2007-8.

                                      and
                                General Information
          Vector calculus is the normal language used in applied mathematics for solving problems in two and
          three dimensions. In ordinary differential and integral calculus, you have already seen how derivatives
          and integrals interrelate. A derivative can be used as the opposite of an integration; it also occurs in
          changing variables in an integral. The same interrelation applies in multiple dimensions, but with more
          richness and variety.
            This module starts with a discussion of different coordinate systems in two and three dimensions.
          The use of Cartesian, plane polar, cylindrical polar and spherical polar coordinates will run through the
          whole module.
            The second section starts with a discussion of vector functions, which are the two- and three-
          dimensional equivalents of the functions of ordinary calculus. These can be used to describe curves
          in space. Next we look at functions of several variables: that is, functions of a vector. With these two
          concepts we can introduce derivatives for fully three-dimensional functions (gradient, divergence and
          curl).
            This brings us to the halfway point of the module, and we will pause to review our new understanding
          before moving on to multiple-dimensional integrals. Here we extend the familiar idea of integration in
          one dimension to integration over an area or a volume.
            Finally, with the introduction of line and surface integrals we come to the famous integral theorems
          of Gauss and Stokes. These encompass beautiful relations between line, surface and volume integrals
          and the vector derivatives studied at the start of this module.
            Most real-life problems are not one-dimensional. The amount of heat stored in a piece of metal can
          be calculated by integrating its temperature in three dimensions; and the diffusion of dye in water is
          governed by differential equations based on three-dimensional derivatives. This is why a knowledge of
          vector calculus is essential for further study in many areas of applied mathematics.

                      Differentiation
                      The curve y = f(x) has a slope at point x = a given by the derivative of f with respect to x at a:

                      Integration
                      Integration is the opposite of differentiation:

                                                                              a

                 and the derivatives
                                                       (d=dx)sinx = cosx                                              (6)

                 0.5      Vector Products
                 Weconsider two vectors a = (a1;a2;a3) and b = (b1;b2;b3). Their scalar dot product is given by
                                                        a·b = a1b1 +a2b2 +a3b3                                       (10)
                 and their vector cross product by
                                                        
                                            i    j   k 
                                                        
                                   a×b= a1 a2 a3 =([a2b3−b2a3];[a3b1−b3a1];[a1b2 −a2b1]):                          (11)
                                                        
                                            b1  b2   b3 
                 Note that although for the scalar product a· b = b · a, for the vector product we have a × b = −b×a.
                 Recall that
                                            a·b = ||a||||b||cosθ and ||a×b|| = ||a||||b||sinθ                        (12)
                 where θ is the angle between the vectors a and b.
