Chapter 1 Algebra of Vectors
I. Elementary properties of vectors
Consider a Cartesian coordinate system, in which we define unit vectors, i, j, and k having the directions of positive x, y, and z axes, respectively. Any vector v whose projections on these axes are vx, vy, and vz, can be written as
v ’ vxi + vyj + vzk or v ’ [vx, vy, vz]
The number vx, vy, and vz are called the scalar components of v in the x, y, and z directions. If, when the initial point of v coincides with the origin, the angle measured to v from the positive x, y, and z axes are denoted by α, β, and γ, respectively, there follows
vx ’ vcosα, vy ’ vcosβ, vz ’ vcosγ,
where v ’ | v | ’[pic] is the magnitude or length of v, the number cosα, cosβ, and cosγ are called the direction cosines of v. It is clearly that the direction cosines satisfy the equation

Addition of vectors: If a ’ a1i + a2j + a3k, b ’ b1i + b2j + b3k, then
a + b ’ (a1 + b1)i + (a2 + b2)j + (a3 + b3)k ’ b + a
ca ’ ca1i + ca2j + ca3k
A pair of nonparallel two vectors in a plane forms a basis of the plane. That is, any vector of the plane can be uniquely determined by a linear combination of the basis. Similarly a basis for three-space is obtained from three noncoplanar vectors.

Since a and b are independent, m + n − 1 ’ 0, and m − n ’ 0. We get m ’ n ’ 1/2, and point O is the midpoint of the diagonals.

IV. Multiple products
1. Scalar triple product (a ( b) ( c
Since a ( b is a vector perpendicular to the plane of a and b, having a magnitude equal to the area of the parallelogram of which a and b form coterminous sides, and the projection of c on a ( b is the altitude of the parallelepiped with a, b, and c as coterminous edges, it follows that (a ( b) ( c is equal to the volume of this parallelepiped. From the fact it follows easily that
(a ( b) ( c ’ (b ( c) ( a ’ (c ( a) ( b
Since (b ( c) ( a ’ a ( (b ( c), we get (a ( b) ( c ’ a ( (b ( c). It follows that the dot and cross can be interchanged in a scalar triple product, the notation (a b c) is frequently used to indicate the common value of the products, and in components
(a b c) ’[pic]
2. Vector triple product (a ( b) ( c
Since (a ( b) ( c is perpendicular to a ( b, which is itself perpendicular to the plane of a and b, and also perpendicular to c, it follows that (a ( b) ( c lies in the plane of a and b and perpendicular to c. Thus
(a ( b) ( c ’ ma + nb ( 0 ’ ma ( c + nb ( c
If we write n ’ λa ( c, then m ’ −λb ( c, and
(a ( b) ( c ’ λ[(a ( c)b − (b ( c)a] (1.1)
To determine λ, let u be a unit vector parallel to a, v be a second unit vector perpendicular to a such that b is in the plane of u and v, and w ’ u ( v, then
a ’ a1u, b ’ b1u + b2v, c ’ c1u + c2v + c3w
Substitute into (1.1), there follows
[a1u ( (b1u + b2v)] ( (c1u + c2v + c3w) ’ λ{[a1u ( (c1u + c2v + c3w)](b1u + b2v) − [(b1u + b2v) ( (c1u + c2v + c3w)](a1u)}
a1b2w ( (c1u + c2v + c3w) ’ λ[a1c1(b1u + b2v) − (b1c1 + b2c2)(a1u)]
a1b2c1v −a1b2c2u ’ λ(a1b2c1v − a1b2c2u)
where we can get λ ’ 1
and
(a ( b) ( c ’ (a ( c)b − (b ( c)a
Similarly
a ( (b ( c) ’ (a ( c)b − (a ( b)c
[Note] (a ( b) ( c ( a ( (b ( c)
3. (a ( b) ( (c ( d) (1.2)
Let u ’ c ( d, (1.2) becomes
(a ( b) ( u ’ a ( (b ( u) ’ a ( [b ( (c ( d)] ’ a ( [(b ( d)c − (b ( c)d]

Chapter 2 Differential Calculus of Vector
I. Derivative of a vector
Definition: A vector function v(t) is said to be differentiable at a point t if the limit
v((t) ’[pic]
exists. The vector v((t) is called the derivative of v(t). In terms of components with respect to a given Cartesian coordinate system, the derivative v((t) is obtained by differentiating each component separately
v((t) ’ v(1(t)i + v(2(t)j + v(2(t)k
It follows
(u + v)( ’ u( + v(
(u ( v)( ’ u( ( v + u ( v(
(u ( v)( ’ u( ( v + u ( v(
1.
Let v(t) be a vector function, whose length is constant. Then v ( v ’ v2 ( (v ( v)( ’ 0, we get
2v ( v( ’ 0. This yields the important result: the derivative of a vector function v(t) of constant length is either the zero vector or is perpendicular to v(t).
II. Geometry of a space curve
1. Arc length
A Cartesian coordinate system being given, we may represent a curve C by a vector function
r(t) ’ x(t) i + y(t) j + z(t) k
v(t) ’ r((t) ’ x((t) i + y((t) j + z((t) k
If s represents arc length along the curve
v(t) ’ r((t) ’[pic]
The expression in parentheses is clearly a unit vector tangent to the curve at point P, we denote this unit vector by T, and
[pic]
The arc length is

Solution: r ’ rer ([pic]’ asinθ er + r eθ ’ asinθ er + a(1 − cosθ) eθ
[pic]
2. Frenet formula
We have a unit tangent vector T ’[pic], and define
[pic]’ κN, κ ( 0 (2.2)
where κ is the magnitude of [pic] and is called the curvature, and N is a unit vector normal to T and is called the normal or principal normal to the curve. The reciprocal of the curvature, ρ ’[pic], is called the radius of curvature. In addition to the two perpendicular vector T and N, a third unit vector known as the binormal vector, is definede by
B ’ T ( N
then
[pic]
Since [pic] is perpendicular to B, and from the right hand side of the above equation, [pic] is perpendicular to T, [pic] can be written in the form
[pic]’ −τN (2.3)
where τ is the torsion or twisting of the curve.
[pic]’ −τN ( T + B ( κN ’ −κT + τB (2.4)
The three formulas, equations (2.2), (2.3), and (2.4) are called Frenet formulas.
In general, the position vector r is a function of t, to find κ and τ, we differentiate r with respect to t:

III. Gradient
Definition: For a given scalar function f(x, y, z) the gradient of f is the vector function
grad f ’ (f ’[pic]
where ( ’[pic], read del, is a differential operator. Then
[pic]
where T is the unit tangent vector to the curve described by r(s). Since (f ( T ’ | (f | cosθ, where θ is the angle between (f and T, then [pic]’ | (f | cosθ; so the component of (f in the direction of T is the directional derivative of f in that direction. It readily follows from this result that (f is in the direction in which [pic] has its maximum values; this maximum value is equal to | (f |.
Consider a surface S in space given by f(x, y, z) ’ constant. As long as we move along this surface on any curve C, f has constant value and consequently [pic]’ 0. Thus
[pic]( (f ( T
where r(s) is the position vector describing the curve C. Since (f is completely determined by f and C is any curve on the surface, (f must be normal to the surface.

IV. Divergence of a vector field
Definition: Let v(x, y, z) be a differentiable vector function and v ’ v1i + v2j + v3k. Then the function
div v ’ (( v ’[pic]
is called the divergence of v.
For a small rectangular solid with edges (x, (y, and (z. In the y direction the outflow of v through the right-hand face is v2(x, y + (y, z)(x(z, through the left-hand face is −v2(x, y, z) (x(z, the total outflow in the y direction is the sum
[v2(x, y + (y, z) − v2(x, y, z)](x(z
The difference in these values of v2 is
[pic](y
Thus the net outflow from the two faces is
[pic](x(y(z
Similarly, the two faces in the x and z direction contribute respectively
[pic](x(y(z and [pic](x(y(z
After we divide by the volume (x(y(z, we have
(( v ’[pic]
as the net outflow per unit volume.

V. Curl of a vector field
Definition: Let v(x, y, z) ’ v1i + v2j + v3k be a differentiable vector function. Then the function
curl v ’ ( ( v ’[pic]
is called the curl of v or the rotation of v.
12.
Let ω ’ ω1i + ω2j + ω3k represent the angular velocity of a rigid body, the velocity field is v ’ ω ( r ’ (ω1i + ω2j + ω3k) ( (xi + yj + zk). The curl of v is
( ( v ’[pic]’ 2ω
Hence, the curl of the velocity field in the case of the rotation of a rigid body has the direction of the axis of rotation, and its magnitude equals twice the angular speed ω of the rotation.

2. Conservative fields
A vector field F is said to be conservative if there can be found some scalar φ such that
F ’ (φ, i.e., [pic]. Then φ is called a potential function or simply potential for F, and
F ( dr ’ (φ ( dr ’[pic]’ dφ
The line integral from A to B along a curve C is
[pic]’ φ(B) − φ(A)
This shows that the value of line integral is simply the difference of the value of φ at the two endpoints of C and is independent of the path C. Hence the line integral around a closed curve of a conservative field is zero.
Since
( ( ((φ) ’ 0 ( ( ( F ’ 0
There follows a fact that if and only if ( ( F ’ 0, the vector field F is conservative.
