I paid 60k a year to college and still have to seek help from you. Thank you very much, your lectures make much more sense than the professors at school.
Sergei Rachmaninoff it’s likely international tuition, I met someone at my uni from SK who pays roughly the same. As if out-of-state or even in-state tuition wasn’t already enough
Congratulations for your presentations, I am an old man over 85 years old and this takes me back to my youth. I like the way you related the curl derivatives with the Green's theorem. A long time ago I tried to relate the connections between Curl and Green's theorem and the Cauchy Reiman conditions, Divergence and Greens theorems and the Cauchy Reiman conditions and dU/dx, dV.dy , dU/dy, and dV/dx where since U has a direction with dx but different from dy and V has a direction with dy but different from dx. the divergence and the curl seems to become so obvious. I should have published my work. Thank you for your submissions, they are excellent I used these vectors to expand electrical signals in three dimensions and recognition was done using Laplace Functions and Convolution and Fourier Integrals in three dimensions. Good old days, Thank you once again. It was so Long ago at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne UK. and now in my retirement, Brilliant work that you are doing,
I am a calculus professor, trying to get a better handle on Maxwell's Equations and Einstein's wave equation, and this course is helping me immensely! Thanks a million.
This is great... my professor explains it in such a way that she thinks we see what she sees in the first glimpse of it, but she only ends up losing us from the get-go and we have no idea what happens for the remaining 1.5 hours of our lectures... but you, in a little under 9 minutes , have made this simply intuitive and graspable! Thanks Dr. Bazett :D
Before, I only knew how to apply the formulas, but your playlist helps really understanding what is going on and why, and that’s exactly what I need to pass my electromagnetic field theory exam. Great work
Awesome! I watched a half-hour lecture from my professor and intuitively didn't understand why it made sense, but you explained all of it in under 9 minutes :)
I'm a physics junior and I have used line integral to solve problems for years, but I still didn't understand why I did so. Thank you very much for using work function as an example. It's really helpful for me to get the idea!
Seriously though, some day I so hope to be a professor of math and I hope I can be half as good as you. I dream of being able to explain math to students in a way that makes it make sense to them.
I got through a whole homework on these before eventually wondering "wait what am I supposed to visualize these as?", great video man within the first minute it made a lot more sense
I have a lot of experience of vector calculus, but still am enjoying your videos as review/entertainment. The concept of work used to confuse me until I realized that "work done" means "work done on an object by a particular force field when it moves along a particular path". If a particle moves along some path, it may be acted upon by many forces, and may have varying speeds depending on its initial speed but the work done on it by a particular fixed force field does not change even if the other forces acting on the particle changes while the path stays fixed. As an example, a ball could be constrained to move in a curved pipe of fixed shape at a fixed distance from the Earth. The work done by Earths gravity on the ball as it traverses the length of the pipe would be independent of any other force on the ball e.g. friction and also the initial speed of the ball. At 3:37 the tangent vector T is unit length, so we integrate the dot product of the force vector at each point on curve with the unit tangent vector at that point along curve.
I am having soooo much trouble with these last sections of calc 3 but I'm only half way in and this makes it make soooo much more sense 😭😭 thank you 🙏🏻😭
I'm in 11th grade but still I managed to complete half of the vector calculus because of you In school they didn't even teach me simple differentiation I had to learn from UA-cam, God bless you!
Was lost on the last two videos I watched but these concrete examples are great. Thinking of it as a particle moving across a vector field is very helpful
This is where the intro lecture kicks in: s (parameter length) for the geometric visualization of the problem we are trying to solve, t (parameter time) gives us the function to actually solve the problem. Hope I'm right on this one, professor.
Great video and visuals. Line integrals over vector fields weren't given much of an explanation besides the formula in my course, but this video gives a great step-by-step understanding and doesn't miss out anything, thanks!
I also want to see a vector field which changes with time i.e., a vector field as a function of time will help us to visualize gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves. 💚
Amazing explanation!! I hope you will continue this series all the way to important theorems related to integral theorem.(green ,stokes..) And also surface and volume integrals
Great videos: the structure of the topic is clear, the explanations are easily perceived or understood, and the conclusions are self-evident. You show the beauty of math. Congratulations!! But my mother language is not English. Doc, Speak sometimes slower, please. (f.e. at the end of the video)
when we were evaluating integrals of parametric functions we would just integrate over the function with respect to arc length, which would give us the area under the curve. But now we have a function, which is a vector field, so there's no "area" to get. In intuitive terms I think we can interpret the vector field as a field of forces, being the vectors the representation, at a given point, of a certain force. Now supose a object moves through the field over a curve C. We're gonna integrate through the vector field, over the curve C. We know that the work done is F.d but actually this F it's not the total force acting on a certain object, it is a "useful force", in the sense that being the work a process in which we tranfer energy, the force in the formula of the work it's the force that is actually responsible for this transfer of energy. So in the case of the block we've the horizontal component of gravity, because even though gravity acts on the force it is only her horizontal component that is transfering energy trough displacing the object along the plane, we observe this in a form of kinetic energy. So the object did path C over the field of force, so we want the know the work, that is the total energy transfered by the forces trough the movement described by the object, and for that we do the integral along c of F.T with respect to the arc lenght. Which means we're summing trough every infinitesimal point of the arc (ds) the work done, therefore F.T because F is projected onto the tangent vector (dot product) and the tangent force is the "useful force" in every point, because the tangent vector is the linear aproximation of the curve at that specific point, which roughly means we're just applying the F.d force but in a infinitesimal point.Hopefully its clarifies thing to other viewers
What is meant by "work done" is "work done by a particular force F". F can be any force on the object or the total (resultant) force on the object. The motion of the object will usually be due to several forces acting on the object. The confusion is probably because the letter "F" usually denotes resultant force on an object as we see in Newton's second law F = ma, but in this video F is any particular force on the object, not necessarily the resultant. If F is the resultant force on the object, then the work-energy theorem tells us that the work done by F on the object is the change in the kinetic energy of the object.
Magnitude of vector T is unity..😅 You should have mentioned it that Vector T is unit vector 1:48 (You did it indirectly by saying that it just represents the direction) Since we have confusion in mind we get more confused by looking at Dot product of F with Non-Unit vector T😂
I didn’t realize that T was supposed to be a unit vector until 6:29. I thought T was a projection from F to the tangent line especially at 3:37 (facepalm). How can a unit vector be so long. They’re always so tiny in my imaginations LOL! Beside that everything is so clear and fun. Another nice class!
This helped so much, thank you! One question: why don't we do F·r instead of F·dr? I know that T is the unit tangential component of the change in r (which could technically be the velocity) but if we want to see how much F is going along r, and r already changes direction constantly, do we really need to use dr instead of r? Thanks!
In the special case of a straight line path through a uniform vector field, the integral F·dr reduces to F·r. Again, this is only for a special case. It's the general case where you have a vector field that could have any distribution, and a path that could be anything, that we have to turn a simple dot product, into a line integral with a dot product by the differential. This is what is necessary to account for the fact that the path isn't a simple straight line, and that the field changes at every point along the way.
The math all makes sense, but what is causing the particle to move along the curve in the first place. Wouldn't there have to be another force moving the particle along the curve , so that it could "experience" the force of the vector field?
I’m not an expert by any means on this, but the way I see it, yes you’re correct. There is some other force that is making the particle move and that force might even by a field of forces. However we’re just concerned with how the one shown field does work on the particle. It’s like the idea of pulling a block across a surface with friction. If we want to look at the work done by friction, we would only look at the function on a graph of the force friction does (y axis) over the distance the box travels (x axis). In the graph it doesn’t show that there is our force of pulling the block it just shows the force of the friction because we’re wondering what work friction does
The proof is via Chain rule: dr/ds = dr/dt * dt/ds. The former of these is v. The latter of these is 1/|v| (see definition of arclength parameter). So we get v/|v| which is the definition of the unit tangent vector T.
@@DrTrefor Thank you very much! I wondered why you didn't note, that T had to be unit. (At least I didn't notice when you implied it or so). That explains it! Greetings and love from Germany.
This is a really good explanation! However, I feel like this would have been clearer if the word "portion" were used instead of "proportion," for proportion can be greater than one which doesn't make sense in this scenario. Nevertheless, it is still a great video.
Will you please cover line integrals along a closed path and their scalar differential form? Also why these is no scalar differential form in line integrals of scalar function?
At around 2.35, I don’t think the explanation is right. You took the dot product of the gravity with kind of a unit vector tangential to the inclined plane. Then that resolved part of gravity is just multiplied (scaling) by the distance. Of course you get the same final answer. But technically it’s not right. You must take dot product of the force vector with the displacement vector. Right?
Thank you a lot for this video! Helped me understand the topic more clearly. My question is: The vector field is probably infinite, so when we integrate over some curve, do we just get dot product of forces acting on points dS that are ON the curve, or is it work of some area around the curve? Thank you for your response.
It appears that the gradient in the example is a mapping from a two-dimensional space into a two-dimensional space. (Both are the X-Y plane.) Yet, you have R^2 -> R on the blackboard. What am I missing?
Hi Dr. Bazett, I have always been confused with the idea of how (dr/dt)dt substitutes into dr. How does this process actually work? Love from Winnipeg, University of Victoria is one of my destinations for post grad. So, maybe someday I will see you in person.
Consider Δr as a small vector connecting two points on the curve and Δt as the difference in the value of t for the two points. As Δt approaches 0 then Δr also approaches 0 and Δr/Δt approaches some value (assuming it exists) denoted by dr/dt. Therefore Δr = (Δr/Δt) Δt approaches (dr/dt)0 = 0. Doing the integration involves taking the limit of the sum of a very large number of the very small quantities (Δr/Δt) Δt as Δt approaches 0. Replacing (Δr/Δt) Δt with dr/dt dt = dr and integrating (i.e summing infinitely many "infinitesimally" small terms involving dr) is the notation for having taken the limit. A more complete explanation comes from real analysis.
r = position vector relative to the origin dr = infinitesimal change in position vector ds = infinitesimal distance change along path. Has the same units as r, and also has the same magnitude as dr. Therefore dr/ds is a unit vector, since it is a change in position divided by an infinitesimal distance in that direction. And it's in the tangential direction, because that's the direction that the r-vector is changing, when compared to the previous r-vector.
the magnitude of dr/ds being equal to one is an intrinsic property of the derivative of the position with respect to arc length. I think the second video in this series should clarify it up for you, try watching that
How can you get from "integral of F dot T ds" to "integral of F(r) dot dr/dt dt" ? Is there some substitution you use to get from one way of writing it to another? I tried doing it but I'm getting weird answers that aren't working.
The unit tangent T is dr/ds because we can think of dr as a displacement vector connecting two infinitesimally close points on the curve whose length is the scalar ds, so dr/ds is a unit vector. The parameter s gives length of curve and is a function of the other curve parameter t. Without going into analysis proofs, we can treat the derivatives like fractions so we get F.T ds = F . dr/ds ds/dt dt = F. dr/dt dt after cancelling ds.

Hi Dr. Bazett,
I have always been confused with the idea of how (dr/dt)dt substitutes into dr. How does this process actually work?
Love from Winnipeg,
University of Victoria is one of my destinations for post grad. So, maybe someday I will see you in person.
Consider Δr as a small vector connecting two points on the curve and Δt as the difference in the value of t for the two points. As Δt approaches 0 then Δr also approaches 0 and Δr/Δt approaches some value (assuming it exists) denoted by dr/dt. Therefore Δr = (Δr/Δt) Δt approaches (dr/dt)0 = 0. Doing the integration involves taking the limit of the sum of a very large number of the very small quantities (Δr/Δt) Δt as Δt approaches 0. Replacing (Δr/Δt) Δt with dr/dt dt = dr and integrating (i.e summing infinitely many "infinitesimally" small terms involving dr) is the notation for having taken the limit. A more complete explanation comes from real analysis.
How unit tangent vector equals (dr)/(ds)
r = position vector relative to the origin
dr = infinitesimal change in position vector
ds = infinitesimal distance change along path. Has the same units as r, and also has the same magnitude as dr.
Therefore dr/ds is a unit vector, since it is a change in position divided by an infinitesimal distance in that direction. And it's in the tangential direction, because that's the direction that the r-vector is changing, when compared to the previous r-vector.
Isnt it the tangent vector dr/dt, instead of dr/ds ??.. Some clarification would be appreciated!!
dr/dt is indeed A tangent vector, but dr/ds is specifically THE unit tangent vector
@@DrTrefor Thanks for your response, can i see it as (dr/dt)/mod(dr/dt)?
Hello, Great explanation however I am having trouble understanding how dr/ds is a unit vector and was wondering if someone could explain that to me.
the magnitude of dr/ds being equal to one is an intrinsic property of the derivative of the position with respect to arc length. I think the second video in this series should clarify it up for you, try watching that

How can you get from "integral of F dot T ds" to "integral of F(r) dot dr/dt dt" ? Is there some substitution you use to get from one way of writing it to another? I tried doing it but I'm getting weird answers that aren't working.
The unit tangent T is dr/ds because we can think of dr as a displacement vector connecting two infinitesimally close points on the curve whose length is the scalar ds, so dr/ds is a unit vector.
The parameter s gives length of curve and is a function of the other curve parameter t.
Without going into analysis proofs, we can treat the derivatives like fractions so we get F.T ds = F . dr/ds ds/dt dt = F. dr/dt dt after cancelling ds.
