Products of three or more vectors. Reciprocal vector triads. Ordinary and partial derivative of vectors. 2. Scalar and vector fields with examples. Coordinate transformation. Notion of invariance. Gradient of a scalar field. Directional derivative. Divergence and curl of a vector field and their physical significance. Solenoidal and irrotational vectors with examples. Conservative vector field and scalar potential. 3. Vector integration. Line integral. Path independence. Exact differential. Surface integral. Flux of a vector field. Volume integral. Divergence theorem. Stokes’ theorem. Green’s theorem in the plane. Green’s second identity. Verification of the integral theorems in simple cases. (Proofs of the integral theorems are not required.) 4. Orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. Unit vectors in curvilinear coordinate system. Arc length and volume element. The Jacobian and its properties. Cylindrical and spherical polar coordinates. The gradient, divergence, curl, and the Laplacian in cylindrical and spherical polar coordinates. 5.
