SHORT NOTES
Vector differentiation

Gradient:- The gradient is a technique which converts a scalar point function into a vector point function.
The gradient of a scalar point function   x, y, z  at a point P denoted and define as
 ˆ  ˆ 
grad     P  iˆ j k .
x y z
Note:
(i) The grad   indicates the normal vector to the surface   x, y, z   c , at a given point P.
(ii) Directional derivative is the rate of change of   x, y, z   c , in the direction of vector a .
(iii) Directional derivative of a surface   x, y, z   c , in the direction of vector a is    .aˆ
(iv) The directional derivative is maximum along  and minimum along   .

given by

i.e., work done depend only on the end points.

Surface Integral:- The surface integral of F taken over a two sided surface S with one side taken
S
 
arbitrarily as a positive side is  V nˆ dS , where nˆ 
S
is the unit out ward normal to the surface.

Evaluation of surface integral:- For a surface in 3-D, surface integral is evaluated by reducing it to a
double integral by projecting the given surface S onto one of the coordinate planes. Let D be the

 
projection of S onto the xy-plane, then  V nˆ dS   F nˆ

Application of surface integral to find the flux:- In fluid dynamics flux of F represents the total
quantity of fluid flowing in unit time through the surface S in the positive direction i.e., Flux of F across
S   F nˆ dS .

P P Q Q
its partial derivatives , , , are continuous in a plane region R bounded by simply closed
