Dive into a comprehensive 5-hour course on vector calculus, covering approximately six weeks of advanced calculus topics. Explore line integrals, surface integrals, vector fields, conservative fields, Green's theorem, divergence theorem, and Stokes' Theorem. Begin with an introduction to vector calculus and progress through curve parameterizations, arclength parameterization, and various types of integrals. Learn to sketch and analyze vector fields, understand gradient vector fields, and compute line integrals of vector fields. Investigate flow integrals, circulation, and flux integrals. Delve into conservative vector fields, the fundamental theorem of line integrals, and methods for testing and finding scalar potential functions. Study curl, divergence, and their relationships to Green's Theorem. Examine surface descriptions, area formulas, and integrals for parametric, implicit, and explicit surfaces. Discover the concepts of orientable and non-orientable surfaces, including the Mobius strip. Master the application of Stokes' Theorem and the Divergence Theorem, including real-world applications like Gauss's Law for Electric Flux. Conclude with a unified view of vector calculus, connecting all major theorems and concepts covered throughout the course.
