This module builds on MAST4014 Calculus and Differential Equations. The aim is to introduce the mathematical tools to perform calculations and apply these tools to interesting applications in physics.

Calculus, the mathematical study of continuous change, stands as a cornerstone of advanced mathematics and its applications. As you delve into this powerful branch of mathematics, you’ll discover a ...

Abstract: This study investigates the challenges faced by second-year undergraduate engineering students in understanding Stokes’ theorem in vector calculus, focusing on the misconceptions found in ...

Abstract: Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists and mathematicians of all time, introduced the notion of a vector to define the existence of gravitational forces, the motion of the planets ...

Any vector can be expressed as a sum of a number of other vectors. The vectors which are summed are called the components of the original vector. When you want to add and subtract two dimensional ...

MEK1100 gives an introduction to the theory of scalar and vector fields with examples from fluid mechanics, geophysics and physics. The course contains gradient and directional derivative, divergence ...

In the University of Maryland’s 2019 Hackathon, named Bitcamp, my team won 1st Prize, also called the Moonshot Hack Award, for our project named “Vector Calculus Sandbox”, a virtual reality ...

Back in 1948, the journal Physical Review published a paper entitled “Space-Time Approach to Quantum Electrodynamics” by a young physicist named R.P. Feynman at Cornell University. The paper described ...
