So, before we actually start 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000 reviewing for the test, I still have to tell you a few 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000 small things because I promised to say a few words about what's 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000 the difference, or precisely, 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000 what's the difference between curl being zero and a field 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000 being a gradient field, and why we have this assumption 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000 that our vector field had to be defined everywhere for a field 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000 with curl zero to actually be conservative for our test for 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:04,000 gradient fields to be valid? So -- More about validity of 16 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:17,000 Green's theorem and things like that. 17 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:29,000 So, we've seen the statement of Green's theorem in two forms. 18 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000 Both of them have to do with comparing a line integral along 19 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000 a closed curve to a double integral over the region inside 20 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000 enclosed by the curve. So, 21 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000 one of them says the line integral for the work done by a 22 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000 vector field along a closed curve counterclockwise is equal 23 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000 to the double integral of a curl of a field over the enclosed 24 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000 region. And, the other one says the 25 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:05,000 total flux out of the region, so, the flux through the curve 26 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,000 is equal to the double integral of divergence of a field in the 27 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000 region. So, in both cases, 28 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000 we need the vector field to be defined not only, 29 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 I mean, the left hand side makes sense if a vector field is 30 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000 just defined on the curve because it's just a line 31 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 integral on C. We don't care what happens 32 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000 inside. But, for the right-hand side to 33 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000 make sense, and therefore for the equality 34 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000 to make sense, we need the vector field to be 35 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000 defined everywhere inside the region. 36 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000 So, I said, if there is a point somewhere in here where my 37 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000 vector field is not defined, then it doesn't work. 38 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:53,000 And actually, we've seen that example. 39 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:08,000 So, this only works if F and its derivatives are defined 40 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:17,000 everywhere in the region, R. 41 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Otherwise, we are in trouble. OK, 42 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:29,000 so we've seen for example that if I gave you the vector field 43 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000 minus yi xj over x squared plus y squared, 44 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000 so that's the same vector field that was on that problem set a 45 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000 couple of weeks ago. Then, well, f is not defined at 46 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,000 the origin, but it's defined everywhere else. 47 00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:03,000 And, wherever it's defined, it's curl is zero. 48 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:14,000 I should say everywhere it's -- And so, if we have a closed 49 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:24,000 curve in the plane, well, there's two situations. 50 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000 One is if it does not enclose the origin. 51 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Then, yes, 52 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,000 we can apply Green's theorem and it will tell us that it's 53 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,000 equal to the double integral in here of curl F dA, 54 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000 which will be zero because this is zero. 55 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000 However, if I have a curve that encloses 56 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000 the origin, let's say like this, 57 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:03,000 for example, then, 58 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000 well, I cannot use the same method because the vector field 59 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000 and its curl are not defined at the origin. 60 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000 And, in fact, you know that ignoring the 61 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000 problem and saying, well, the curl is still zero 62 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000 everywhere, will give you the wrong answer 63 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000 because we've seen an example. We've seen that along the unit 64 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000 circle the total work is 2 pi not zero. 65 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,000 So, we can't use Green. However, we can't use it 66 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000 directly. So, there is an extended 67 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000 version of Green's theorem that tells you the following thing. 68 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Well, it tells me that even though I 69 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000 can't do things for just this region enclosed by C prime, 70 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000 I can still do things for the region in between two different 71 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:06,000 curves. OK, so let me show you what I 72 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000 have in mind. So, let's say that I have my 73 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000 curve C'. Where's my yellow chalk? 74 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:22,000 Oh, here. So, I have this curve C'. 75 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:30,000 I can't apply Green's theorem inside it, but let's get out the 76 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000 smaller thing. So, that one I'm going to make 77 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000 going clockwise. You will see why. 78 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Then, I could say, well, let me change my mind. 79 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000 This picture is not very well prepared. 80 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000 That's because my writer is on strike. 81 00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:02,000 OK, so let's say we have C' and C'' both going counterclockwise. 82 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Then, I claim that Green's theorem 83 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000 still applies, and tells me that the line 84 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000 integral along C prime minus the line integral along C double 85 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,000 prime is equal to the double integral over the region in 86 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000 between. So here, now, 87 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:35,000 it's this region with the hole of the curve. 88 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,000 And, well, in our case, that will turn out to be zero 89 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000 because curl is zero. OK, so this doesn't tell us 90 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000 what each of these two line integrals is. 91 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000 But actually, it tells us that they are equal 92 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000 to each other. And so, by computing one, 93 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000 you can see actually that for this vector field, 94 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000 if you take any curve that goes counterclockwise around the 95 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000 origin, you would get two pi no matter 96 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000 what the curve is. So how do you get to this? 97 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Why is this not like conceptually a new theorem? 98 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Well, just think of the following thing. 99 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000 I'm not going to do it on top of that because it's going to be 100 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000 messy if I draw too many things. But, so here I have my C''. 101 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,000 Here, I have C'. Let me actually make a slit 102 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000 that will connect them to each other like this. 103 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000 So now if I take, see, 104 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000 I can form a single closed curve that will enclose all of 105 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000 this region with kind of an infinitely thin slit here 106 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000 counterclockwise. And so, if I go 107 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000 counterclockwise around this region, basically I go 108 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000 counterclockwise along the outer curve. 109 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000 Then I go along the slit. Then I go clockwise along the 110 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000 inside curve, then back along the slit. 111 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000 And then I'm done. So, 112 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,000 if I take the line integral along this big curve consisting 113 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000 of all these pieces, now I can apply Green's theorem 114 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000 to that because it is the usual counterclockwise curve that goes 115 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000 around a region where my field is well-defined. 116 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,000 See, I've eliminated the origin from the picture. 117 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:37,000 And, so the total line integral for this thing is equal to the 118 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,000 integral along C prime, I guess the outer one. 119 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Then, I also need to have what I do along the inner side. 120 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000 And, the inner side is going to be C double prime, 121 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000 but going backwards because now I'm going clockwise on C prime 122 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000 so that I'm going counterclockwise around the 123 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000 shaded region. Well, of course there will be 124 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000 contributions from the line integral along this wide 125 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000 segment. But, I do it twice, 126 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:17,000 once each way. So, they cancel out. 127 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000 So, the white segments cancel out. 128 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000 You probably shouldn't, in your notes, 129 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000 write down white segments because probably they are not 130 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000 white on your paper. But, hopefully you get the 131 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000 meaning of what I'm trying to say. 132 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000 OK, so basically that tells you, you can still play tricks 133 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000 with Green's theorem when the region has holes in it. 134 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000 You just had to be careful and somehow subtract some other 135 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000 curve so that together things will work out. 136 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000 There is a similar thing with the divergence theorem, 137 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000 of course, with flux and double integral of div f, 138 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000 you can apply exactly the same argument. 139 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000 OK, so basically you can apply Green's theorem for a region 140 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000 that has several boundary curves. 141 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000 You just have to be careful that the outer boundary must go 142 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000 counterclockwise. The inner boundary either goes 143 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000 clockwise, or you put a minus sign. 144 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000 OK, and the last cultural note, 145 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:34,000 so, the definition, we say that a region in the 146 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000 plane, sorry, I should say a connected 147 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:45,000 region in the plane, so that means -- So, 148 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000 connected means it consists of a single piece. 149 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000 OK, so, connected, there is a single piece. 150 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000 These two guys together are not connected. 151 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,000 But, if I join them, then this is a connected 152 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:08,000 region. We say it's simply connected -- 153 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:17,000 -- if any closed curve in it, OK, 154 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000 so I need to gave a name to my region, 155 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000 let's say R, any closed curve in R, 156 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:29,000 bounds, no, 157 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:37,000 sorry. If the interior of any closed 158 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:49,000 curve in R -- -- is also contained in R. 159 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000 So, concretely, what does that mean? 160 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:57,000 That means the region, R, does not have any holes 161 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,000 inside it. Maybe I should draw two 162 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000 pictures to explain what I mean. So, 163 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:17,000 this guy here is simply connected while -- -- this guy 164 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:29,000 here is not simply connected because if I take this curve, 165 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000 that's a curve inside my region. But, the piece that it bounds 166 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000 is not actually entirely contained in my origin. 167 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 And, so why is that relevant? Well, 168 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000 if you know that your vector field is defined everywhere in a 169 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000 simply connected region, then you don't have to worry 170 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000 about this question of, can I apply Green's theorem to 171 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000 the inside? You know it's automatically OK 172 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 because if you have a closed curve, 173 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,000 then the vector field is, I mean, if a vector field is 174 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000 defined on the curve it will also be defined inside. 175 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:11,000 OK, so if the domain of definition 176 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:25,000 -- -- of a vector field is defined and differentiable -- -- 177 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:38,000 is simply connected -- -- then we can always apply -- -- 178 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:47,000 Green's theorem -- -- and, of course, 179 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000 provided that we do it on a curve where the vector field is 180 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000 defined. I mean, your line integral 181 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000 doesn't make sense so there's nothing to compute. 182 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000 But, if you have, so, again, the argument would 183 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000 be, well, if a vector field is defined on the curve, 184 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000 it's also defined inside. So, 185 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000 see, the problem with that vector 186 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000 field here is precisely that its domain of definition is not 187 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000 simply connected because there is a hole, 188 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:17,000 namely the origin. OK, so for this guy, 189 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:28,000 domain of definition, which is plane minus the origin 190 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:39,000 with the origin removed is not simply connected. 191 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000 And so that's why you have this line integral that makes perfect 192 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000 sense, but you can't apply Green's theorem to it. 193 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000 So now, what does that mean a particular? 194 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Well, we've seen this criterion that if a curl of the vector 195 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000 field is zero and it's defined in the entire plane, 196 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000 then the vector field is conservative, 197 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000 and it's a gradient field. And, the argument to prove that 198 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000 is basically to use Green's theorem. 199 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000 So, in fact, the actual optimal statement 200 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,000 you can make is if a vector field is defined in a simply 201 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000 connected region, and its curl is zero, 202 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:26,000 then it's a gradient field. So, let me just write that down. 203 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000 So, the correct statement, I mean, the previous one we've 204 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,000 seen is also correct. But this one is somehow better 205 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:45,000 and closer to what exactly is needed if curl F is zero and the 206 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:55,000 domain of definition where F is defined is simply connected -- 207 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:04,000 -- then F is conservative. And that means also it's a 208 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:11,000 gradient field. It's the same thing. 209 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:23,000 OK, any questions on this? No? 210 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000 OK, some good news. What I've just said here won't 211 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000 come up on the test on Thursday. OK. 212 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000 (APPLAUSE) Still, it's stuff that you should be 213 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000 aware of generally speaking because it will be useful, 214 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000 say, on the next week's problem set. 215 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,000 And, maybe on the final it would be, 216 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000 there won't be any really, really complicated things 217 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000 probably, but you might need to be at 218 00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:01,000 least vaguely aware of this issue of things being simply 219 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000 connected. And by the way, 220 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000 I mean, this is also somehow the starting point of topology, 221 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000 which is the branch of math that studies the shapes of 222 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000 regions. So, 223 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000 in particular, you can try to distinguish 224 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000 domains in the plains by looking at whether they're simply 225 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000 connected or not, and what kinds of features they 226 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000 have in terms of how you can joint point what kinds of curves 227 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000 exist in them. And, since that's the branch of 228 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000 math in which I work, I thought I should tell you a 229 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:41,000 bit about it. OK, so now back to reviewing 230 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,000 for the exam. So, I'm going to basically list 231 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000 topics. And, if time permits, 232 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,000 I will say a few things about problems from practice exam 3B. 233 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 I'm hoping that you have it or your neighbor has it, 234 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000 or you can somehow get it. Anyway, given time, 235 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000 I'm not sure how much I will say about the problems in and of 236 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000 themselves. OK, so the main thing to know 237 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000 about this exam is how to set up and evaluate double integrals 238 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000 and line integrals. OK, if you know how to do these 239 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000 two things, then you are in much better shape than if you don't. 240 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:43,000 And -- So, the first thing we've seen, just to write it 241 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:55,000 down, there's two main objects. And, it's kind of important to 242 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000 not confuse them with each other. 243 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000 OK, there's double integrals of our regions of some quantity, 244 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000 dA, and the other one is the line 245 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,000 integral along a curve of a vector field, 246 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,000 F.dr or F.Mds depending on whether it's work or flux that 247 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000 we are trying to do. And, so we should know how to 248 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000 set up these things and how to evaluate them. 249 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000 And, roughly speaking, in this one you start by 250 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000 drawing a picture of the region, then deciding which way you 251 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000 will integrate it. It could be dx dy, 252 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000 dy dx, r dr d theta, 253 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,000 and then you will set up the bound carefully by slicing it 254 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000 and studying how the bounds for the inner variable depend on the 255 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000 outer variable. So, the first topic will be 256 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000 setting up double integrals. And so, remember, 257 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:03,000 OK, so maybe I should make this more explicit. 258 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:12,000 We want to draw a picture of R and take slices in the chosen 259 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,000 way so that we get an iterated integral. 260 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,000 OK, so let's do just a quick example. 261 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:38,000 So, if I look at problem one on the exam 3B, 262 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,000 it says to look at the line integral from zero to one, 263 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000 line integral from x to 2x of possibly something, 264 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000 but dy dx. And it says, 265 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:58,000 let's look at how we would set this up the other way around by 266 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,000 exchanging x and y. So, we should get to something 267 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000 that will be the same integral dx dy. 268 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000 I mean, if you have a function of x and y, then it will be the 269 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000 same function. But, of course, 270 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000 the bounds change. So, how do we exchange the 271 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000 order of integration? Well, the only way to do it 272 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000 consistently is to draw a picture. 273 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000 So, let's see, what does this mean? 274 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,000 Here, it means we integrate from y equals x to y equals 2x, 275 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000 x between zero and one. So, we should draw a picture. 276 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000 The lower bound for y is y equals x. 277 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000 So, let's draw y equals x. That seems to be here. 278 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:47,000 And, we'll go up to y equals 2x, which is a line also but 279 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:52,000 with bigger slope. And then, all right, 280 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000 so for each value of x, my origin will go from x to 2x. 281 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,000 Well, and I do this for all values of x that go to x equals 282 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000 one. So, I stop at x equals one, 283 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000 which is here. And then, my region is 284 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000 something like this. OK, so this point here, 285 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:21,000 in case you are wondering, well, when x equals one, 286 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:27,000 y is one. And that point here is one, two. 287 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000 OK, any questions about that so far? 288 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,000 OK, so somehow that's the first kill, when you see an integral, 289 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000 how to figure out what it means, how to draw the region. 290 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000 And then there's a converse scale which is given the region, 291 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000 how to set up the integral for it. 292 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000 So, if we want to set up instead dx dy, 293 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000 then it means we are going to actually look at the converse 294 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,000 question which is, for a given value of y, 295 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000 what is the range of values of x? 296 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000 OK, so if we fix y, well, where do we enter the 297 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000 region, and where do we leave it? 298 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000 So, we seem to enter on this side, and we seem to leave on 299 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000 that side. At least that seems to be true 300 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000 for the first few values of y that I choose. 301 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,000 But, hey, if I take a larger value of y, then I will enter on 302 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000 the side, and I will leave on this vertical side, 303 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000 not on that one. So, I seem to have two 304 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:28,000 different things going on. OK, the place where enter my 305 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:38,000 region is always y equals 2x, which is the same as x equals y 306 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:45,000 over two. So, x seems to always start at 307 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:51,000 y over two. But, where I leave to be either 308 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000 x equals y, or here, x equals y. 309 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000 And, that depends on the value of y. 310 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000 So, in fact, I have to break this into two 311 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,000 different integrals. I have to treat separately the 312 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000 case where y is between zero and one, and between one and two. 313 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:15,000 So, what I do in that case is I just make two integrals. 314 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000 So, I say, both of them start at y over two. 315 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,000 But, in the first case, we'll stop at x equals y. 316 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:30,000 In the second case, we'll stop at x equals one. 317 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000 OK, and now, what are the values of y for 318 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000 each case? Well, the first case is when y 319 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,000 is between zero and one. The second case is when y is 320 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000 between one and two, which I guess this picture now 321 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,000 is completely unreadable, but hopefully you've been 322 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000 following what's going on, or else you can see it in the 323 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000 solutions to the problem. And, so that's our final answer. 324 00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:01,000 OK, any questions about how to set up double integrals in xy 325 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000 coordinates? No? 326 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000 OK, who feels comfortable with this kind of problem? 327 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000 OK, good. I'm happy to see the vast 328 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000 majority. So, the bad news is we have to 329 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:23,000 be able to do it not only in xy coordinates, but also in polar 330 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000 coordinates. So, when you go to polar 331 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000 coordinates, basically all you have to remember on the side of 332 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000 integrand is that x becomes r cosine theta. 333 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Y becomes r sine theta. And, dx dy becomes r dr d theta. 334 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000 In terms of how you slice for your region, well, 335 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000 you will be integrating first over r. 336 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,000 So, that means what you're doing is you're fixing the value 337 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000 of theta. And, for that value of theta, 338 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000 you ask yourself, for what range of values of r 339 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000 am I going to be inside my origin? 340 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000 So, if my origin looks like this, then for this value of 341 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000 theta, r would go from zero to whatever this distance is. 342 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000 And of course I have to find how this distance depends on 343 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000 theta. And then, I will find the 344 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000 extreme values of theta. Now, of course, 345 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000 is the origin is really looking like this, then you're not going 346 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000 to do it in polar coordinates. But, if it's like a circle or a 347 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000 half circle, or things like that, 348 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000 then even if a problem doesn't tell you to do it in polar 349 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000 coordinates you might want to seriously consider it. 350 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000 OK, so I'm not going to do it but problem two in the practice 351 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,000 exam is a good example of doing something in polar coordinates. 352 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:50,000 OK, so in terms of things that we 353 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,000 do with double integrals, there's a few formulas that I'd 354 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000 like you to remember about applications that we've seen of 355 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,000 double integrals. So, quantities that we can 356 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,000 compute with double integrals include things like the area of 357 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000 region, its mass if it has a density, 358 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000 the average value of some function, 359 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000 for example, the average value of the x and 360 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000 y coordinates, which we called the center of 361 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:31,000 mass or moments of inertia. So, these are just formulas to 362 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000 remember. So, for example, 363 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,000 the area of region is the double integral of just dA, 364 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,000 or if it helps you, one dA if you want. 365 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000 You are integrating the function 1. 366 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000 You have to remember formulas for mass, 367 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,000 for the average value of a function is the F bar, 368 00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:05,000 in particular x bar y bar, which is the center of mass, 369 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:14,000 and the moment of inertia. OK, so the polar moment of 370 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,000 inertia, which is moment of inertia about the origin. 371 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000 OK, so that's double integral of x squared plus y squared, 372 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,000 density dA, but also moments of inertia 373 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,000 about the x and y axis, which are given by just taking 374 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,000 one of these guys. Don't worry about moments of 375 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000 inertia about an arbitrary line. I will ask you for a moment of 376 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,000 inertia for some weird line or something like that. 377 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,000 OK, but these you should know. Now, what if you somehow, 378 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000 on the spur of the moment, you forget, what's the formula 379 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000 for moment of inertia? Well, I mean, 380 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000 I prefer if you know, but if you have a complete 381 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 blank in your memory, there will still be partial 382 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,000 credit were setting up the bounds and everything else. 383 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000 So, the general rule for the exam 384 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000 will be if you're stuck in a calculation or you're missing a 385 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,000 little piece of the puzzle, try to do as much as you can. 386 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000 In particular, try to at least set up the 387 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,000 bounds of the integral. There will be partial credit 388 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:21,000 for that always. So, while we're at it about 389 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,000 grand rules, how about evaluation? 390 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,000 How about evaluating integrals? So, once you've set it up, 391 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000 you have to sometimes compute it. 392 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000 First of all, check just in case the problem 393 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,000 says set up but do not evaluate. Then, don't waste your time 394 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,000 evaluating it. If a problem says to compute 395 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,000 it, then you have to compute it. So, what kinds of integration 396 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000 techniques do you need to know? So, you need to know, 397 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000 you must know, well, how to integrate the 398 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000 usual functions like one over x or x to the n, 399 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,000 or exponential, sine, cosine, 400 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000 things like that, OK, so the usual integrals. 401 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:16,000 You must know what I will call easy trigonometry. 402 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,000 OK, I don't want to give you a complete list. 403 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000 And the more you ask me about which ones are on the list, 404 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000 the more I will add to the list. 405 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,000 But, those that you know that you should know, 406 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000 you should know. Those that you think you 407 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000 shouldn't know, you don't have to know because 408 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,000 I will say what I will say soon. You should know also 409 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,000 substitution, how to set U equals something, 410 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,000 and then see, oh, this becomes u times du, 411 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,000 and so substitution method. What do I mean by easy 412 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000 trigonometrics? Well, certainly you should know 413 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000 how to ingrate sine. You should know how to 414 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,000 integrate cosine. You should be aware that sine 415 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,000 squared plus cosine squared simplifies to one. 416 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000 And, you should be aware of general things like that. 417 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000 I would like you to know, maybe, the double angles, 418 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000 sine 2x and cosine 2x. Know what these are, 419 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,000 and the kinds of the easy things you can do with that, 420 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,000 also things that involve substitution setting like U 421 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000 equals sine T or U equals cosine T. 422 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000 I mean, let me, instead, give an example of 423 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,000 hard trig that you don't need to know, and then I will answer. 424 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:34,000 OK, so, not needed on Thursday; it doesn't mean that I don't 425 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000 want you to know them. I would love you to know every 426 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,000 single integral formula. But, that shouldn't be your top 427 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000 priority. So, you don't need to know 428 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000 things like hard trigonometric ones. 429 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,000 So, let me give you an example. OK, so if I ask you to do this 430 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000 one, then actually I will give you maybe, you know, 431 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,000 I will reprint the formula from the notes or something like 432 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000 that. OK, so that one you don't need 433 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000 to know. I would love if you happen to 434 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,000 know it, but if you need it, it will be given to you. 435 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:13,000 So, these kinds of things that you cannot compute by any easy 436 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000 method. And, integration by parts, 437 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:21,000 I believe that I successfully test-solved all the problems 438 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000 without doing any single integration by parts. 439 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,000 Again, in general, it's something that I would 440 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000 like you to know, but it shouldn't be a top 441 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:40,000 priority for this week. OK, sorry, you had a question, 442 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000 or? Inverse trigonometric 443 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000 functions: let's say the most easy ones. 444 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000 I would like you to know the easiest inverse trig functions, 445 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,000 but not much. OK, OK, so be aware that these 446 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:04,000 functions exist, but it's not a top priority. 447 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000 I should say, the more I tell you I don't 448 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000 need you to know, the more your physics and other 449 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000 teachers might complain that, oh, these guys don't know how 450 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000 to integrate. So, try not to forget 451 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:19,000 everything. But, yes? 452 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,000 No, no, here I just mean for evaluating just a single 453 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000 variable integral. I will get to change variables 454 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000 and Jacobian soon, but I'm thinking of this as a 455 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000 different topic. What I mean by this one is if 456 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000 I'm asking you to integrate, I don't know, 457 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,000 what's a good example? Zero to one t dt over square 458 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,000 root of one plus t squared, then you should think of maybe 459 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000 substituting u equals one plus t squared, 460 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:55,000 and then it becomes easier. OK, so this kind of trig, 461 00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000 that's what I have in mind here specifically. 462 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000 And again, if you're stuck, 463 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000 in particular, if you hit this dreaded guy, 464 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000 and you don't actually have a formula giving you what it is, 465 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000 it means one of two things. One is something's wrong with 466 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,000 your solution. The other option is something 467 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000 is wrong with my problem. So, either way, 468 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000 check quickly what you've done it if you can't find a mistake, 469 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:27,000 then just move ahead to the next problem. 470 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,000 Which one, this one? Yeah, 471 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000 I mean if you can do it, if you know how to do it, 472 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,000 which everything is fair: I mean, 473 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,000 generally speaking, give enough of it so that you 474 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000 found the solution by yourself, not like, 475 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:43,000 you know, it didn't somehow come to you by magic. 476 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,000 But, yeah, if you know how to integrate this without doing the 477 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000 substitution, that's absolutely fine by me. 478 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000 Just show enough work. The general rule is show enough 479 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,000 work that we see that you knew what you are doing. 480 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,000 OK, now another thing we've seen with double integrals is 481 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,000 how to do more complicated changes of variables. 482 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:23,000 So, when you want to replace x and y by some variables, 483 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:28,000 u and v, given by some formulas in terms of x and y. 484 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,000 So, you need to remember basically how to do them. 485 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,000 So, you need to remember that the method consists of three 486 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:43,000 steps. So, one is you have to find the 487 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000 Jacobian. And, you can choose to do 488 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,000 either this Jacobian or the inverse one depending on what's 489 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000 easiest given what you're given. You don't have to worry about 490 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000 solving for things the other way around. 491 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000 Just compute one of these Jacobians. 492 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:06,000 And then, the rule is that du dv is absolute value of the 493 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:12,000 Jacobian dx dy. So, that takes care of dx dy, 494 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:18,000 how to convert that into du dv. The second thing to know is 495 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000 that, well, 496 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,000 you need to of course substitute any x and y's in the 497 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:32,000 integrand to convert them to u's and v's so that you have a valid 498 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000 integrand involving only u and v. 499 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:51,000 And then, the last part is setting up the bounds. 500 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000 And you see that, probably you seen on P-sets and 501 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000 an example we did in the lecture that this can be complicated. 502 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000 But now, in real life, you do this actually to 503 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000 simplify the integrals. So, 504 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000 probably the one that will be there on Thursday, 505 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,000 if there's a problem about that on Thursday, 506 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000 it will be a situation where the bounds that you get after 507 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000 changing variables are reasonably easy. 508 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000 OK, I'm not saying that it will be completely obvious 509 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000 necessarily, but it will be a fairly easy situation. 510 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,000 So, the general method is you look at your region, 511 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,000 R, and it might have various sides. 512 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,000 Well, on each side you ask yourself, what do I know about x 513 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,000 and y, and how to convert that in terms of u and v? 514 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,000 And maybe you'll find that the equation might be just u equals 515 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000 zero for example, or u equals v, 516 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,000 or something like that. And then, it's up to you to 517 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,000 decide what you want to do. But, maybe the easiest usually 518 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000 is to draw a new picture in terms of u and v coordinates of 519 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,000 what your region will look like in the new coordinates. 520 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000 It might be that it will actually much easier. 521 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,000 It should be easier looking than what you started with. 522 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000 OK, so that's the general idea. There is one change of variable 523 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,000 problem on each of the two practice exams to give you a 524 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,000 feeling for what's realistic. The problem that's on practice 525 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:18,000 exam 3B actually is on the hard side of things because the 526 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000 question is kind of hidden in a way. 527 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,000 So, if you look at problem six, you might find that it's not 528 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000 telling you very clearly what you have to do. 529 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:34,000 That's because it was meant to be the hardest problem on that 530 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,000 test. But, once you've reduced it to 531 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,000 an actual change of variables problem, I expect you to be able 532 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000 to know how to do it. And, on practice exam 3A, 533 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,000 there's also, I think it's problem five on 534 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000 the other practice exam. And, that one is actually 535 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000 pretty standard and straightforward. 536 00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,000 OK, time to move on, sorry. So, we've also seen about line 537 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:00,000 integrals. 538 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:30,000 OK, so line integrals, 539 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000 so the main thing to know about them, 540 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000 so the line integral for work, which is line integral of F.dr, 541 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,000 so let's say that your vector field has components, 542 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:49,000 M and N. So, the line integral for work 543 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:57,000 becomes in coordinates integral of Mdx plus Ndy while we've also 544 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:05,000 seen line integral for flux. So, line integral of F.n ds 545 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:13,000 becomes the integral along C just to make sure that I give it 546 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,000 to you correctly. So, remember that just, 547 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000 I don't want to make the mistake in front of you. 548 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:30,000 So, T ds is dx, dy. And, the normal vector, 549 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:36,000 so, T ds goes along the curve. Nds goes clockwise 550 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,000 perpendicular to the curve. So, it's going to be, 551 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:48,000 well, it's going to be dy and negative dx. 552 00:41:48,000 --> 00:42:00,000 So, you will be integrating negative Ndx plus Mdy. 553 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,000 OK, see, if you are blanking and don't remember the signs, 554 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,000 then you can just draw this picture and make sure that you 555 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000 get it right. So, you should know a little 556 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,000 bit about geometric interpretation and how to see 557 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000 easily that it's going to be zero in some cases. 558 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,000 But, mostly you should know how to compute, set up and compute 559 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000 these things. So, what do we do when we are 560 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,000 here? Well, it's year, 561 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000 we have both x and y together, but we want to, 562 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000 because it's the line integral, there should be only one 563 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,000 variable. So, the important thing to know 564 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,000 is we want to reduce everything to a single parameter. 565 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:55,000 OK, so the evaluation method is always by reducing to a single 566 00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:01,000 parameter. So, for example, 567 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:06,000 maybe x and y are both functions of some variable, 568 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,000 t, and then express everything in 569 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:18,000 terms of some integral of, some quantity involving t dt. 570 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000 It could be that you will just express everything in terms of x 571 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000 or in terms of y, or in terms of some angle or 572 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000 something. It's up to you to choose how to 573 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,000 parameterize things. And then, when you're there, 574 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,000 it's a usual one variable integral with a single variable 575 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:36,000 in there. OK, so that's the general 576 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,000 method of calculation, but we've seen a shortcut for 577 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,000 work when we can show that the field is the gradient of 578 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,000 potential. So, 579 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:55,000 one thing to know is if the curl of F, 580 00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:01,000 which is an x minus My happens to be zero, 581 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,000 well, and now I can say, 582 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,000 and the domain is simply connected, 583 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:11,000 or if the field is defined everywhere, 584 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:19,000 then F is actually a gradient field. 585 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000 So, that means, just to make it more concrete, 586 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,000 that means we can find a function little f called the 587 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,000 potential such that its derivative respect to x is M, 588 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,000 and its derivative with respect to Y is N. 589 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,000 We can solve these two conditions for the same 590 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:42,000 function, f, simultaneously. And, how do we find this 591 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,000 function, little f? OK, so that's the same as 592 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,000 saying that the field, big F, is the gradient of 593 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,000 little f. And, how do we find this 594 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,000 function, little f? Well, we've seen two methods. 595 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,000 One of them involves computing a line integral from the origin 596 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,000 to a point in the plane by going first along the x axis, 597 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,000 then vertically. The other method was to first 598 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,000 figure out what this one tells us by integrating it with 599 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000 respect to x. And then, we differentiate our 600 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:17,000 answer with respect to y, and we compare with that to get 601 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,000 the complete answer. OK, so I is that relevant? 602 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,000 Well, first of all it's relevant in 603 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,000 physics, but it's also relevant just to 604 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,000 calculation of line integrals because we see the fundamental 605 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,000 theorem of calculus for line integrals which says if we are 606 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,000 integrating a gradient field and we know what the potential is. 607 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,000 Then, we just have to, well, the line integral is just 608 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,000 the change in value of a potential. 609 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,000 OK, so we take the value of a potential at the starting point, 610 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,000 sorry, we take value potential at the endpoint minus the value 611 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:58,000 at the starting point. And, that will give us the line 612 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,000 integral, OK? So, important: 613 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:05,000 this is only for work. There's no statement like that 614 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,000 for flux, OK, so don't tried to fly this in a 615 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,000 problem about flux. I mean, usually, 616 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000 if you look at the practice exams, 617 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,000 you will see it's pretty clear that there's one problem in 618 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000 which you are supposed to do things this way. 619 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,000 It's kind of a dead giveaway, but it's probably not too bad. 620 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000 OK, and the other thing we've seen, so I mentioned it at the 621 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000 beginning but let me mention it again. 622 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,000 To compute things, Green's theorem, 623 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:42,000 let's just compute, well, let us forget, 624 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,000 sorry, find the value of a line integral along the closed curve 625 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,000 by reducing it to double integral. 626 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:55,000 So, the one for work says -- -- 627 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,000 this, and you should remember that in 628 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000 there, so C is a closed curve that 629 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,000 goes counterclockwise, and R is the region inside. 630 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,000 So, the way you would, if you had to compute both 631 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,000 sides separately, you would do them in extremely 632 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,000 different ways, right? 633 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,000 This one is a line integral. So, you use the method to 634 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000 explain here, namely, you express x and y in 635 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,000 terms of a single variable. See that you're doing a circle. 636 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000 I want to see a theta. I don't want to see an R. 637 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,000 R is not a variable. You are on the circle. 638 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,000 This one is a double integral. So, if you are doing it, 639 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000 say, on a disk, you would have both R and theta 640 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,000 if you're using polar coordinates. 641 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,000 You would have both x and y. Here, you have two variables of 642 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,000 integration. Here, you should have only one 643 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,000 after you parameterize the curve. 644 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,000 And, the fact that it stays curl F, I mean, 645 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,000 curl F is just Nx-My is just like any function of x and y. 646 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000 OK, the fact that we called it curl F doesn't change how you 647 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000 compute it. You have first to compute the 648 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,000 curl of F. Say you find, 649 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,000 I don't know, xy minus x squared, 650 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,000 well, it becomes just the usual double integral of the usual 651 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:09,000 function xy minus x squared. There's nothing special to it 652 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:15,000 because it's a curl. And, the other one is the 653 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:21,000 counterpart for flux. So, it says this, 654 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,000 and remember this is mx plus ny. 655 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000 I mean, what's important about these statements is not only 656 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,000 remembering, you know, if you just know this formula 657 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,000 by heart, you are still in trouble 658 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,000 because you need to know what actually the symbols in here 659 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,000 mean. So, you should remember, 660 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,000 what is this line integral, and what's the divergence of a 661 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:47,000 field? So, just something to remember. 662 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,000 And, so I guess I'll let you figure out practice problems 663 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,000 because it's time, but I think that's basically 664 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:59,000 the list of all we've seen. And, well, that should be it.
