I also have quite a few duties in my department that keep me quite busy at times. All this means that I just don't have a lot of time to be helping random folks who contact me via this website. I would love to be able to help everyone but the reality is that I just don't have the time. So, because I can't help everyone who contacts me for help I don't answer any of the emails asking for help. Also, when I first started this site I did try to help as many as I could and quickly found that for a small group of people I was becoming a free tutor and was constantly being barraged with questions and requests for help. Unfortunately there were a small number of those as well that were VERY demanding of my time and generally did not understand that I was not going to be available 2. I really got tired of dealing with those kinds of people and that was one of the reasons (along with simply getting busier here at Lamar) that made me decide to quit answering any email asking for help.
So, while I'd like to answer all emails for help, I can't and so I'm sorry to say that all emails requesting help will be ignored. Where are the answers/solutions to the Assignment Problems? Show Answer. Answer/solutions to the assignment problems do not exist. Those are intended for use by instructors to assign for homework problems if they want to. Having solutions (and for many instructors even just having the answers) readily available would defeat the purpose of the problems. Please do not email asking for the solutions/answers as you won't get them from me.
How do I download pdf versions of the pages? Show Answer. There are a variety of ways to download pdf versions of the material on the site.
From Content Page. If you are on a particular content page hover/click on the "Downloads" menu item. You will be presented with a variety of links for pdf files associated with the page you are on. Included in the links will be links for the full Chapter and E- Book of the page you are on (if applicable) as well as links for the Notes, Practice Problems, Solutions to the Practice Problems and Assignment Problems. The links for the page you are on will be highlighted so you can easily find them. From Download Page.
All pdfs available for download can be found on the Download Page. Links to the download page can be found in the Download Menu, the Misc Links Menu and at the bottom of each page. Once on the Download Page simply select the topic you wish to download pdfs from. This will present you with another menu in which you can select the specific page you wish to download pdfs for. Once you have made a selection from this second menu up to four links (depending on whether or not practice and assignment problems are available for that page) will show up below the second menu that you can click on to initiate the download.

You can access the Site Map Page from the Misc Links Menu or from the link at the bottom of every page. Note for Internet Explorer Users. If you are using Internet Explorer in all likelihood after clicking on a link to initiate a download a gold bar will appear at the bottom of your browser window that will allow you to open the pdf file or save it. I've found a typo in the material. Show Answer. If you have found a typo or mistake on a page then please contact me and let me know of the typo/mistake.
Please be as specific as possible in your report. Let me know what page you are on and just what you feel the typo/mistake is. It's kind of hard to find the potential typo if all you write is "The 2 in problem 1 should be a 3" (and yes I've gotten handful of typo reports like that..). Some of the equations are too small for me to see! Show Answer. This is a problem with some of the equations on the site unfortunately. It is especially true for some exponents and occasionally a "double prime" 2nd derivative notation will look like a "single prime". You can click on any equation to get a larger view of the equation.
Clicking on the larger equation will make it go away. If you are a mobile device (especially a phone) then the equations will appear very small. I am attempting to find a way around this but it is a function of the program that I use to convert the source documents to web pages and so I'm somewhat limited in what I can do. I am hoping they update the program in the future to address this.
In the mean time you can sometimes get the pages to show larger versions of the equations if you flip your phone into landscape mode. Another option for many of the "small" equation issues (mobile or otherwise) is to download the pdf versions of the pages. These often do not suffer from the same problems. Is there any way to get a printable version of the solution to a particular Practice Problem?
Show Answer. Yes. If you want a printable version of a single problem solution all you need to do is click on the "[Solution]" link next to the problem to get the solution to show up in the solution pane and then from the "Solution Pane Options" select "Printable Version" and a printable version of that solution will appear in a new tab of your browser. In this section we are going to introduce a couple of new. Let’s start with the curl.
Given the vector field the curl is defined to be,There is another (potentially) easier definition of the curl. To use it we will. This is defined to be,We use this as if it’s a function in the following manner. So, whatever function is listed after the is substituted into the partial. Note as well that when we. Using the we can define the curl as the following cross. We have a couple of nice facts that use the curl of a vector. Facts. Example 1 Determine.
Solution. So all that we need to do is compute the curl and see if. So, the curl isn’t the zero vector and so this vector. Next we should talk about a physical interpretation of the. Suppose that is the velocity field of a flowing fluid. Then represents the tendency of particles at the. If then the fluid is called irrotational. Let’s now talk about the second new concept in this.
Given the vector field the divergence is defined to be,There is also a definition of the divergence in terms of the. The divergence can be defined in terms of the following dot product. We also have the following fact about the relationship. Example 3 Verify. Solution. Let’s first compute the curl. Now compute the divergence of this. We also have a physical interpretation of the.
If we again think of as the velocity field of a flowing fluid then represents the net rate of change of the mass. This can also be thought of as the tendency. If then the is called incompressible. The next topic that we want to briefly mention is the Laplaceoperator. Let’s first take a look at, The Laplace operator is.
The Laplace operator arises. The final topic in this section is to give two vector forms.
Green’s Theorem. The first form uses. The second form uses the divergence. In this case we also need the outward unit.
C. If the curve is parameterized by then the outward unit normal is given by, Here is a sketch illustrating the outward unit normal for. C at various points. The vector form of Green’s Theorem that uses the divergence.
Divergence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In vector calculus, divergence is a vector operator that produces a signed scalar field giving the quantity of a vector field's source at each point.
More technically, the divergence represents the volume density of the outward flux of a vector field from an infinitesimal volume around a given point. As an example, consider air as it is heated or cooled. The velocity of the air at each point defines a vector field. While air is heated in a region, it expands in all directions, and thus the velocity field points outward from that region. The divergence of the velocity field in that region would thus have a positive value.
While the air is cooled and thus contracting, the divergence of the velocity has a negative value. Definition of divergence[edit]In physical terms, the divergence of a three- dimensional vector field is the extent to which the vector field flow behaves like a source at a given point. It is a local measure of its "outgoingness" – the extent to which there is more exiting an infinitesimal region of space than entering it.
If the divergence is nonzero at some point then there must be a source or sink at that position.[1] (Note that we are imagining the vector field to be like the velocity vector field of a fluid (in motion) when we use the terms flow, source and so on.)More rigorously, the divergence of a vector field F at a point p is defined as the limit of the net flow of F across the smooth boundary of a three- dimensional region V divided by the volume of V as V shrinks to p. Formally,where | V| is the volume of V, S(V) is the boundary of V, and the integral is a surface integral with n being the outward unit normal to that surface. The result, div F, is a function of p. From this definition it also becomes explicitly visible that div F can be seen as the source density of the flux of F.
In light of the physical interpretation, a vector field with zero divergence everywhere is called incompressible or solenoidal – in this case, no net flow can occur across any closed surface. The intuition that the sum of all sources minus the sum of all sinks should give the net flow outwards of a region is made precise by the divergence theorem. Application in Cartesian coordinates[edit]Let x, y, z be a system of Cartesian coordinates in 3- dimensional Euclidean space, and let i, j, k be the corresponding basis of unit vectors.
The divergence of a continuously differentiablevector field. F = Ui + Vj + Wk is equal to the scalar- valued function: Although expressed in terms of coordinates, the result is invariant under orthogonal transformations, as the physical interpretation suggests. The common notation for the divergence ∇ · F is a convenient mnemonic, where the dot denotes an operation reminiscent of the dot product: take the components of the ∇ operator (see del), apply them to the components of F, and sum the results. Because applying an operator is different from multiplying the components, this is considered an abuse of notation. The divergence of a continuously differentiable second- order tensor field is a first- order tensor field: [2]Cylindrical coordinates[edit]For a vector expressed in cylindrical coordinates aswhere ea is the unit vector in direction a, the divergence is[3]Spherical coordinates[edit]In spherical coordinates, with the angle with the z axis and the rotation around the z axis, the divergence reads[4]Decomposition theorem[edit]It can be shown that any stationary flux v(r) that is at least twice continuously differentiable in and vanishes sufficiently fast for | r| → ∞ can be decomposed into an irrotational part.
E(r) and a source- free part. B(r). Moreover, these parts are explicitly determined by the respective source densities (see above) and circulation densities (see the article Curl): For the irrotational part one haswith.
The source- free part, B, can be similarly written: one only has to replace the scalar potential Φ(r) by a vector potential. A(r) and the terms −∇Φ by +∇ × A, and the source density div v by the circulation- density ∇ × v.
This "decomposition theorem" is a by- product of the stationary case of electrodynamics. It is a special case of the more general Helmholtz decomposition which works in dimensions greater than three as well. Properties[edit]The following properties can all be derived from the ordinary differentiation rules of calculus. Most importantly, the divergence is a linear operator, i. F and G and all real numbersa and b. There is a product rule of the following type: if is a scalar valued function and F is a vector field, thenor in more suggestive notation. Another product rule for the cross product of two vector fields F and G in three dimensions involves the curl and reads as follows: or.
The Laplacian of a scalar field is the divergence of the field's gradient: The divergence of the curl of any vector field (in three dimensions) is equal to zero: If a vector field F with zero divergence is defined on a ball in R3, then there exists some vector field G on the ball with F = curl(G). For regions in R3 more topologically complicated than this, the latter statement might be false (see Poincar. Г© lemma). The degree of failure of the truth of the statement, measured by the homology of the chain complex(where the first map is the gradient, the second is the curl, the third is the divergence) serves as a nice quantification of the complicatedness of the underlying region U. These are the beginnings and main motivations of de Rham cohomology. Relation with the exterior derivative[edit]One can express the divergence as a particular case of the exterior derivative, which takes a 2- form to a 3- form in R3. Define the current two- form as.
It measures the amount of "stuff" flowing through a surface per unit time in a "stuff fluid" of density moving with local velocity F. Its exterior derivative is then given by. Thus, the divergence of the vector field F can be expressed as: Here the superscript is one of the two musical isomorphisms, and is the Hodge dual. Working with the current two- form and the exterior derivative is usually easier than working with the vector field and divergence, because unlike the divergence, the exterior derivative commutes with a change of (curvilinear) coordinate system. Generalizations[edit]The divergence of a vector field can be defined in any number of dimensions. Ifin a Euclidean coordinate system where and , define.
The appropriate expression is more complicated in curvilinear coordinates. In the case of one dimension, a F reduces to a regular function, and the divergence reduces to the derivative. For any n, the divergence is a linear operator, and it satisfies the "product rule"for any scalar- valued function . The divergence of a vector field extends naturally to any differentiable manifold of dimension n with a volume form (or density) e. Riemannian or Lorentzian manifold.
Generalising the construction of a two- form for a vector field on , on such a manifold a vector field X defines an (n в€’ 1)- form obtained by contracting X with . The divergence is then the function defined by. Standard formulas for the Lie derivative allow us to reformulate this as. This means that the divergence measures the rate of expansion of a volume element as we let it flow with the vector field. On a pseudo- Riemannian manifold, the divergence with respect to the metric volume form can be computed in terms of the Levi- Civita connection: where the second expression is the contraction of the vector field valued 1- form with itself and the last expression is the traditional coordinate expression from Ricci calculus. An equivalent expression without using connection iswhere is the metric and denotes partial derivative with respect to coordinate . Divergence can also be generalised to tensors.
In Einstein notation, the divergence of a contravariant vector is given bywhere denotes the covariant derivative. Equivalently, some authors define the divergence of a mixed tensor by using the musical isomorphismв™Ї: If T is a (p, q)- tensor (p for the contravariant vector and q for the covariant one), then we define the divergence of T to be the (p, q в€’ 1)- tensorthat is we trace the covariant derivative on the first two covariant indices.[5]See also[edit]References[edit]Brewer, Jess H.
