Learning Outcomes/Objectives: (VA)
At the end this course, students will be able to:
perform any kind of vector operations.
Deal with the techniques of differentiation and integration of vector functions. Apply calculus tools to define three fundamental vectors that describe basic characteristics of curves as curvature and twisting tendencies. Apply the concepts of velocity and acceleration for motion to explain various physical phenomena. Evaluate line, surface and volume integrals with elementary applications. Interprete the physical significance of gradient, divergence and curl. Analyze flows of various types—the flow of a fluid or the flow of electricity, for example. Apply various vector integral theorems which provide deep insight into the nature of flows and are the basis for many of the most important principles in physics and engineering. Assessment
