INTRODUCTION
In this unit, vector differential calculus is considered, which extends the
basic concepts of (ordinary) differential calculus to vector functions, by
introducing derivative of a vector function and the new concepts of gradient,
divergence and curl.
Vector integral calculus: vector integral calculus extends the concept of
(ordinary) integral calculus to vector functions. It has applications in fluid
flow, design of underwater transmission cables, heat flow in stars, study of
satellites.
In this unit we consider three important integral theorem green’s theorem.
Stokes's theorem states that the circulation of a vector field around the
boundary of a surface in space equals the integral of the normal component
of the curl of the field over the surface. Gauss divergence theorem ,which
is important in electricity, magnetism and fluid flow.

 Point Function (CO5)

 A variable quantity whose value at any point in a region of space

depends upon the position of the point is called the point function.
There are two types of point function
Scalar point function:
 Examples: The temperature distribution in a medium,
Distribution of atmospheric pressure in space
Vector point function
 Examples: The velocity of a moving fluid at any instant and
gravitational force etc.

 Divergence (CO5)

 In vector calculus, divergence is a vector operator that measures

the magnitude of a vector field's source or sink at a given point, in
terms of a signed scalar.

 More technically, the divergence represents the volume density of

the outward flux of a vector field from an infinitesimal volume
around a given point.

12/22/2025 Dr Pariksha Gupta Calculas and Linear Algebra (CAS0103) Module-5 29

 Solenoidal and Irrotational Fields (CO5)

 If curl F=0 then F is called an irrotational vector.

 If F is irrotational, then there exists a scalar point function ɸ
such that F= ɸ where ɸ is called the scalar potential of F.

 The work done in moving an object from point A to B in an

irrotational field is
= ɸ(B)- ɸ(A).

 The curl signifies the angular velocity at any point is equal to

the half the curl of the linear velocity at that point of the
body.

12/22/2025 Dr Pariksha Gupta Calculas and Linear Algebra (CAS0103) Module-5 30

 Solenoidal and Irrotational Fields (CO5)

 The field with null divergence is called solenoidal, and the field
with null-curl is called irrotational field.

 The divergence of the curl of any vector field A must be zero, i.e.
· ( ×A)=0

 This shows that a solenoidal field can be expressed in terms of the

curl of another vector field or that a curly field must be a
solenoidal field.
