Tutorial 3 on Vector Calculus
Course Coordinator: Dr. Aman Jhinga
1. Define line integral and surface integral of a vector valued function along a curve or a
surface.
2. State the theorems which link line integral with surface integral and surface integral
with volume integral.
3. State the role of gradient in vector integral calculus.
4. State and prove Green’s theorem in the plane.
5. Prove Green’s theorem as a special case of Stoke’s Theorem.
