| Course description |
|
In physics, motion of an object is described using three-dimensional vectors. Fluid flow, electric field, and magnetic field are all represented as a spatial distribution of vectors in a three-dimensional space. Vector analysis is a field of mathematics concerned with various operations to the vectors, which includes differentiation and integration of vectors. In this course, students will learn the basic points in vector analysis that are required to learn fluid dynamics and electromagnetism. Students will be trained to solve various problems in vector analysis by doing exercises. The topics covered in the course include: - Inner and outer products - Frenet-Serret formulas - Gradient, divergence, and rotation of vector fields - Line and surface integrals This course is one of the specialized fundamental courses in the curriculum. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to: - Calculate the curvature and torsion of a trajectory by differentiation of a vector function - Calculate the area of a curved surface by integration of a vector function - Calculate the gradient, divergence, and rotation of vector fields Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. |
