MATH0016 Mathematics Methods 3 Problem Set
Need help with my Calculus question – Im studying for my class.
The questions below are about Vector Calculus and Fourier Series.
*1. Consider the vector field:
F(x, y, z) := 1 i + 2y j +
- By direct computation show that ? × F = 0.
- Find a potential function for F.
2z k. 1+x+z2 +y2
1+x+z2 +y2 1+x+z2 +y2
c. How does the result in Part a. follow from Part b.?
d. Find??CF·dr,whereCisacurvefrom0=(0,0,0)tothepoint
(1, 1, 2).
*4. Starting with the divergence theorem and two smooth scalar functions f and g, a closed surface S enclosing a volume V , derive the first and the second Greens formulae:
a. Greens first formula:
???? (f?g)·ndS=?????? ??f?2g+?f·?g??dV.
SV
b. Greens second formula:
???? (f?g)·ndS????? (g?f)·ndS=?????? ??f?2g?g?2f??dV.
*6. Let m, n be positive integers. Verify the integral identities:
