5.1 INTRODUCTION
Vector algebra deals with addition, subtraction and multiplication of

vertex. In vector calculus we shall study differentiation of vectors
functions, gradient, divergence and curl.
Vector:
Vector is a physical quantity which required magnitude and direction both.
Unit Vector:
Unit Vector is a vector which has magnitude 1. Unit vectors along co-
ordinate axis are i and j , k respectively.
i = j = k =1
Scalar Triple Vector:
Scalar triple product of three vectors is defined as a. b c or a b c .

Geometrical meaning of a b c is volume of parallelepiped with cotter
minus edges a, b and c .
We have,
abc = bca = cab
abc =- bac
Vector Triple Product:
Vector triple product of a b and c is cross product of a and b c i.e.
a b c or cross product of a b and c
a b c = a.c b a.b c
a b c= a.c b b.c a
Remark : Vector triple product is not associative in general
i.e. a b c a b c
Coplanar Vectors:
Three vectors a, b and c are coplanar if abc = 0 for
a 0,b 0,c 0
5.2 VECTORS DIFFERENTIATION
Let v be a vector function of a scalar t. Let v be the small increment in

a corresponding to the increment t in t.
Then,
v v t + t - v(t)
v v t + t - v(t)
=
t t
Taking limit t 0 we get,
v v t + t - v(t)
lim = lim
t 0 t t 0 t
dv v v t + t - v(t)
= lim = lim
dt t 0 t t 0 t
dv v t + t - v(t)
= lim
dt t 0 t

5.3 VECTOR OPERATOR
The vector differential operator is defined as =i j k .

x y z
5.3.1 Gradient:
The gradient of a scalar function is denoted by grad or and is
defined as =i +j +k . Note that grad is a vector

x y z
quantity.
5.3.2 Geometric meaning of gradient:
The grad is a vector right angled to the surface, whose equation is

x, y, z = c, where c is constant.
Hence for r = x i + y j + z k any point on surface . dr = 0
i.e. at is right angles to d r and dr lies on the tangent plane to the

surface at P r .
dr
Geometrically represents a vector normal to the surface x, y, z =

constant.
Example 8: Find grad , where = x 2 y3 ez

Directional derivative
The derivative of a point function (scalar or vector) in a particular
direction is called its directional derivative along the direction.
The directional derivative of a scalar point function φ in a given
direction is the rate of change of φ in the direction. It is given by the
component of grad φ in that direction.
The directional derivative of a scalar point function

Directional derivative of φ is maximum in the direction of ∇φ .

Hence the maximum directional derivative is ∇φ or gradφ

FOURIER SERIES
PERIODIC FUNCTIONS
A function f (x) is said to have a period T if for all x, f ( x  T )  f ( x) , where T is a
positive constant. The least value of T>0 is called the period of f (x) .
EXAMPLES
We know that f (x) = sin x = sin (x + 4  ) = … Therefore the function has period 2  ,
4  , 6  , etc. However, 2 is the least value and therefore is the period of f(x).
Similarly cos x is a periodic function with the period 2  and tan x has period  .
DIRICHLET’S CONDITIONS
A function f (x) defined in c  x  c+2l can be expanded as an infinite trigonometric
a nx nx
series of the form o +  a n cos   bn sin , provided
2 l l
1. f (x) is well defined and single valued , periodic and finite in (c , c+2l)
2. f (x) is continuous or piecewise continuous with finite number of finite
discontinuities in (c, c+2l).
3. f (x) has no or finite number of maxima or minima in (c , c+2l).

EVEN FUNCTION
If f (x) =  (x) in (-l , l) such that  ( x) =  (x) , then f (x) is said to be an even

If f ( x)   1 Such that 1 ( x) =  2 ( x ) or  2 (  x ) = 1 ( x ) , then f (x)
 2 ( x) in (0, l )
is said to be an even function of x in (-l , l).
EXAMPLE: y = cos x , y = x 2 are even functions.
ODD FUNCTION
If f (x) =  (x) in (-l , l) such that  ( x) = -  (x) , then f (x) is said to be an odd
function of x in (-l , l).
1 ( x) in (l ,0)
If f ( x)   Such that 1 ( x) = -  2 ( x ) or  2 (  x ) = - 1 ( x ) , then
 2 ( x) in (0, l )
f (x) is said to be an odd function of x in (-l , l).
EXAMPLE; y = sin x, y = x are odd functions.

Solution:
Since f (x) is defined in a range of length 2l, we can expand f (x) in Fourier series of
period 2l.
Also f ( x) = sin[a(-x)] = -sin ax = - f (x)
 f (x) is an odd function of x in (-l , l).
Hence Fourier series of f (x) will not contain cosine terms.

Course : ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS -II

After going through this unit, you will be able to

Vector algebra deals with addition, subtraction and multiplication of

Scalar Triple Vector:

Scalar triple product of three vectors is defined as a. b c or a b c .

abc = bca = cab

Vector Triple Product:

Vector triple product of a b and c is cross product of a and b c i.e.

a b c or cross product of a b and c

Remark : Vector triple product is not associative in general

5.2 VECTORS DIFFERENTIATION

Let v be a vector function of a scalar t. Let v be the small increment in

Taking limit t 0 we get,

Formulas of vector differentiation:

(v) If v v1i + v2 j + v3k

Again differentiating eqn

Example 3. Evaluate the following:

Check your progress:

5.3 VECTOR OPERATOR

The vector differential operator is defined as =i j k .

The gradient of a scalar function is denoted by grad or and is

defined as =i +j +k . Note that grad is a vector

5.3.2 Geometric meaning of gradient:

The grad is a vector right angled to the surface, whose equation is

Hence for r = x i + y j + z k any point on surface . dr = 0

i.e. at is right angles to d r and dr lies on the tangent plane to the

Geometrically represents a vector normal to the surface x, y, z =

Example 8: Find grad , where = x 2 y3 ez

Example 9: If r xi yj zk find grad r

Example 11: If 2x3 y y2z find grad at (1, -1, 2)

At (1, -1, and 2)

Example 13: Find grad r n

Example 14: Find grad log x 2 y2 z2

= 2 i ( log r)+ j ( log r)+ k ( log r)

Check your progress:

Find grad at (3, 2, -1)

(3) Show that grad r3 -3 r 5

(4) If F x, y, z x2 y2 + z2 Find F at (1, 1, 1)

(5) Show that f r r 0 where r xi + yj + zk

(6) Find unit vector normal to the surface x 2 y2 z2 3a 2 at (a, a, a)

[Hint :- Unit vector normal to surface i.e. ]

If v (x, y, z) = v1i + v2 j + v3 k can be defined and differentiated at each

Example 16 If F = x 2 y2 i + 2xyj + y2 2xy k , find F

Example 17 Show that div r = 3 where r = xi + y j +z k

Example 18 For r = xi + y j +z k show that div r n r = (n+3) r n

Solution: L.H.S. div r n r = . rn r

Example 19 Evaluate div r where r = xi + y j +z k

Example 20 If F = x 2 y3 z4 Find div (grad F)

Example 21 Find the value of div a r r n where a is a constant

5.3.4 Solenoidal Function: A vector function F is called Solenoidal if

5.3.5 Curl: The curl of a vector point function F is defined as curl

i.e. if w = w1i + w 2 j +w3k be the angular velocity of any particle of the

5.3.6 Irrotational field:

A vector point function F is called irrotational if F 0 at all points of the

Example 22 Find curl (curl F ) If F = x 2 y i -2 x z j 2 y z k at (1, 0, 2)

curl curl (F) = 2z + 2x i + 0j + 2z x 2 k

Example 23 Find curl V if V = x 2 + yz i + y2 +2x j z 2 +xy k
