Educational > Mathematics narky Sun, 04 Jun 2006 02:53:39 GMT http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vector_calculus&oldid=81357662 Vector calculus (also called vector analysis) is a field of mathematics concerned with multivariate real analysis of vectors in two or more dimensions. It consists of a suite of formulas and problem solving techniques very useful for engineering and physics. Vector analysis has its origin in quaternion analysis, and was formulated by the American scientist, J. Willard Gibbs [1]. It concerns vector fields, which associate a vector to every point in space, and scalar fields, which associate a scalar to every point in space. For example, the temperature of a swimming pool is a scalar field: to each point we associate a scalar value of temperature. The water flow in the same pool is a vector field: to each point we associate a velocity vector.

We have moved on to Larson's 4th edition and some sections have changed but I have left them where they are since many people on the Internet find these useful resources. The notes were updated in the Fall 2003 semester to use Cascading Style Sheets and validate as XHTML 1.0 strict web pages. If your browser doesn't support CSS, certain pages (especially those with matrices) will not display properly.

It is hoped that this book will provide information about the whole area of differential equations, but for the moment it will concentrate on the simpler equations.

Eighteenth century Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler was prolific in every sense. He fathered 13 children and probably just as many branches of mathematics. One of his many legacies is the name "Latin square" to describe a matrix in which each row and column forms a permutation of the numbers 1,2,3,...,n. He was the original Sudoku addict! Like Euler, Ian Wanless discovered that playing with Latin squares is fun a long time before it became fashionable. In this colloquium he will explain some of his recent extensions of Euler's fundamental discoveries.
