Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives





To introduce the concepts and basic results of Vector Analysis.





Learning outcomes and competences





The student should know: the meaning of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an endomorphism of a vector space; to identify the graphs of quadratic equations in two and three real variables; the fundamental results concerning the analysis of multivariate functions and understand the concepts of partial derivative, gradient vector, local maxima and minima, tangent plane to the graph of functions of two variables being able to determine extreme values of constrained functions. The student should also know the methods of multiple integration and use them to determine areas, volumes, etc, of bounded plane or space regions, using change of variables if necessary; Green's theorem and Stokes' theorem; Solving differential equations.





Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Students are expected to have previously acquired basic knowledge of Linear Algebra (matrices, vector spaces) and Calculus of functions of one real variable.

Program

1. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an endomorphism of a vector space. Euclidean spaces. DIagonalization of symmetric matrices. Conic sections and quadratic surfaces in the space. Diagonalization of quadratic forms.

2. Differential calculus of vector-valued multivariate functions.Graphs, contour lines and level surfaces. Open and closed subsets, accumulation and isolated points. Limits and continuity. Directional and partial derivatives. Gradient vector of a real valued multivariate function. Derivability. Tangent plane to the graph of a function of two variables. Normal line and tangent hiperplane at a point on the level surface of a function. Jacobian matrix. Derivation of composition of functions. Inverse and implicit function theorems. Maxima and minima of real-valued multivariate functions.

3. Multiple integrals. Definition of integral of a multivariate real-valued function over a bounded region. Fubini's theorem. Computation of integrals via iterated integrals. Change of coordinates. Double integrals in polar coordinates, triple integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinates.

4. Applications to Physics. Vector fileds; Line integrals; Green's theorem; Rotational and divergence; Surface integrals; Stokes  theorem; Divergence theorem; Solving 2nd order differential equations: Vibrating spring and electrical circuits.

Eligibility for exams

Unconditional.

Calculation formula of final grade

1) A student may be exempted from the final exam by obtaining a passing grade from the average of the grades of two midterm exams. The student is approved if he/she obtains a grade equal or greater to 10 (average of the two tests)

2) The final exam has two parts corresponding to the division of the topics of the course in the two midterm tests.

3) A student that is already approved by means of test, i.e. by (1) may still do the final exam, and do only one or both of the two parts of the exam. If he delivers one (or both parts) for grading, then the classification obtained substitutes the corresponding grades obtained in the midterm test.

4) The same rule applies to the the second phase of exams or to students that want to increase their classification.

Classification improvement

During the semester, the rules are those indicated in the formula of computation of the final grade. After that, the general relevant rules apply.
