Exam 2020

The document contains 5 exercises related to mathematical methods for physics. Exercise 1 involves finding critical points and determining the nature of critical points of a function of two variables. Exercise 2 involves computing the circulation of a vector field along a parametrized curve. Exercise 3 defines gradient, divergence, and curl operators in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates and proves an identity relating them. Exercise 4 states Gauss's theorem and applies it to compute a surface flux. Exercise 5 states Stokes' theorem and uses it to evaluate a line integral around a triangle.
