图书简介
Basic Insights in Vector Calculus provides an introduction to three famous theorems of vector calculus, Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem and the divergence theorem (also known as Gauss’s theorem). Material is presented so that results emerge in a natural way. As in classical physics, we begin with descriptions of flows. The book will be helpful for undergraduates in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, in programs that require vector calculus. At the same time, it also provides some of the mathematical background essential for more advanced contexts which include, for instance, the physics and engineering of continuous media and fields, axiomatically rigorous vector analysis, and the mathematical theory of differential forms. There is a Supplement on mathematical understanding. The approach invites one to advert to one’s own experience in mathematics and, that way, identify elements of understanding that emerge in all levels of learning and teaching. Prerequisites are competence in single-variable calculus. Some familiarity with partial derivatives and the multi-variable chain rule would be helpful. But for the convenience of the reader we review essentials of single- and multi-variable calculus needed for the three main theorems of vector calculus. Carefully developed Problems and Exercises are included, for many of which guidance or hints are provided. Key Features: o Suitable for a one-semester first course in undergraduate vector calculus o Helps readers get the inside track on three famous theorems, namely, Green’s Theorem, Gauss’s theorem (Divergence Theorem) and Stokes’ Theorem o Reveals origins in classical physics, without needing students to be in a physics program o Leads to key insights that give rise to the three famous theorems of vector calculus o Presented so that formulas emerge in a natural way o Accessible to students from numerous STEM majors that require vector calculus o Provides background needed in more advanced axiomatically rigorous texts on vector analysis, and applications o Modest prerequisites include basic competence in differential and integral calculus of one real variable; and familiarity with partial derivatives and the chain rule in multi-variable calculus o For the convenience of readers, the book includes a review of immediately relevant aspects of single variable and multi-variable calculus o Includes carefully developed Problems and Exercises, for many of which hints, partial or complete solutions are provided o There is a Supplement on mathematical understanding that invites readers to advert to their own experience and that way discern elements of understanding that emerge in all levels of learning and teaching
