Topics: Surface integrals, divergence theorem, and Stokes’ theorem

  1. We’ve learned that a parameterized curve in three dimensions is a map r from I to R^3 , where I is an interval in R^1. Likewise, parameterized surface is a map r from D to R^3 where D is a region in R^2. Sketch the surface r (u, v) = (u, u^2 , v) where (u, v) ranges over the unit square [0, 1]^2.
  2. The flux of a vector field F through a surface S is, if we interpret F as a velocity field for a fluid, the amount of fluid passing through the surface per unit time. Writing n for the unit normal to the surface at each point, the flux is calculated using the formula ∫∫

D

F · ( r u × r v) du dv.

Calculate the flux of F (x, y, z) = (y, xz, x) across the surface from the previous question.

  1. The divergence theorem says that you can calculate the flux of a vector field F out of a closed

surface S two equivalent ways. (1) Using a surface integral:

F · d S or (2) integrating the diver-

gence over the interior E of the region:

  1. Verify the divergence theorem in the case F (x, y, z) = (x, y, z) over the unit sphere.
  1. Verify the divergence theorem for the vector field (x^2 , xy, z) and the solid bounded by the paraboloid z = 4 − x^2 − y^2 and the xy-plane.
  2. Suppose that G = curl F for some vector field F. Explain why the flux of G through the two surfaces shown below are equal.
  3. (Challenge Problem) Use Stokes’ theorem to find a vector field that can be integrated around the boundary of a region to find the area of the region!
