Vector Fields

A vector field is an assignment of a vector to each point in a subset of Euclidean space.

Thumbnail
Conservative Vector Fields

A conservative vector field is a vector field which is the gradient of a function, known in this context as a scalar potential.

Thumbnail
Line Integrals

A line integral is an integral where the function to be integrated is evaluated along a curve.

Thumbnail
Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals

Gradient theorem says that a line integral through a gradient field can be evaluated from the field values at the endpoints of the curve.

Thumbnail
Green's Theorem

Green's theorem gives relationship between a line integral around closed curve CCC and a double integral over plane region DDD bounded by CCC.

Thumbnail
Curl and Divergence

The four most important differential operators are gradient, curl, divergence, and Laplacian.

Thumbnail
Parametric Surfaces and Surface Integrals

A parametric surface is a surface in the Euclidean space R3R^3R​3​​ which is defined by a parametric equation.

Thumbnail
Surface Integrals of Vector Fields

The surface integral of vector fields can be defined component-wise according to the definition of the surface integral of a scalar field.

Thumbnail
Stokes' Theorem

Stokes' theorem relates the integral of the curl of a vector field over a surface to the line integral of the field around the boundary.

Thumbnail
The Divergence Theorem

The divergence theorem relates the flow of a vector field through a surface to the behavior of the vector field inside the surface.
