Definition 2.1 (Scalar and vector)
Vector is a directed quantity, one with
both magnitude and direction.
For instance acceleration, velocity, force
Scalar is a quantity that has magnitude
but not direction.
For instance mass, volume, distance

We represent a vector as an arrow from the
origin O to a point A.
The length of the arrow is the magnitude of

Limits and Continuity of Vectors
A vector function v(t) of a real variable t is said
to have the limit l as t approaches t0, if v(t) is
defined in some neighborhood of t0 (possibly
except at t0) and
Then we write
Here, a neighborhood of t0 is an interval (segment)
on the t-axis containing t0 as an interior point
(not as an endpoint).

15. Continuity
• A vector function v(t) is said to be
continuous at t = t0 if it is defined in some
neighborhood of t0 (including at t0 itself!)
and
• If we introduce a Cartesian coordinate
system, we may write

Then v(t) is continuous at t0 if and only if
its three components are continuous at t0.

differentiating each component separately.

32. Curves, Arc Length and Tangent
In our day to day life, a curve is defined as a line
which is not straight. But, in math, a curve can also be
straight or it is also called continuous line. Curves are
either open or closed.
Open curve is defined as a curve whose ends do not
meet. Example is parabola, hyperbola.
Closed curves are curves whose ends are joined.
Closed curves do not have end points. Examples
of closed curves are ellipse and circle.
32
33. • The application of vector calculus to
geometry is a field known as differential
geometry.
• Bodies that move in space form paths that
may be represented by curves C. This and
other applications show the need for
parametric representations of C with
parameter t, which may denote time or
something else
33
34. A typical parametric representation is given by
(1) r(t) = [x(t), y(t), z(t)] = x(t)i + y(t)j + z(t)k
34
35. here t is the parameter and x, y, z are Cartesian
coordinates, that is, the usual rectangular
coordinates.
The use of parametric representations has key
advantages over other representations that involve
projections into the xy-plane and xz-plane or involve
a pair of equations with y or with z as independent
variable. The projections look like this:
(2) y = f(x), z = g(x).
The advantages of using (1) instead of (2) are that, in
(1), the coordinates x, y, z all play an equal role, that
is, all three coordinates are dependent variables.
Moreover, the parametric representation (1) induces
an orientation on C.
35
36. This means that as we increase t, we travel along the
curve C in a certain direction. The sense of increasing
t is called the positive sense on C. The sense of
decreasing t is then called the negative sense on C,
given by (1).
• Example: Straight Line
A straight line L through a point A with position
vector a in the direction of a constant vector b (see in
the figure below)
can be represented parametrically in the form
(3) r(t) = a + tb = [a1 + tb1, a2 + tb2, a3 + tb3].
36
37. Parametric representation of a straight line
A plane curve is a curve that lies in a plane in space.
A curve that is not plane is called a twisted curve.
A simple curve is a curve without multiple points,
that is, without points at which the curve intersects
or touches itself. 37
38. Circle and helix are simple curves. Figures below shows
curves that are not simple.
An arc of a curve is the portion between any two points
of the curve. For simplicity, we say “curve” for curves as
well as for arcs.
Curves with multiple points
38
39. Tangent to a Curve
The next idea is the approximation of a curve by straight
lines, leading to tangents and to a definition of length.
Tangents are straight lines touching a curve. The tangent
to a simple curve C at a point P of C is the limiting
position of a straight line L through P and a point Q of C
as Q approaches P along C. Let us formalize this
concept. If C is given by r(t), and P and Q correspond to
t and t + Δt, then a vector in the direction of L is
(4)
39
40. In the limit this vector becomes the derivative
(5)
provided r(t) is differentiable, as we shall assume from
now on. If r′(t) ≠ 0 we call r′(t) a tangent vector of C at
P because it has the direction of the tangent. The
corresponding unit vector is the unit tangent vector
(see figure below)
(6)
Note that both r′ and u point in the direction of
increasing t. Hence their sense depends on the
orientation of C. It is reversed if we reverse the
orientation.

41. continued
It is now easy to see that the tangent to C at P is given
by
q(w) = r + wr' (Fig below).
This is the sum of the position vector r of P and a
multiple of the tangent vector r′ of C at P. Both vectors
depend on P. The variable w is the parameter in (7).
41
42. Length of a Curve
If r(t) has a continuous derivative r′, it can be shown
that the sequence l1, l2, … has a limit, which is
independent of the particular choice of the
representation of C and of the choice of subdivisions.
This limit is given by the integral
l is called the length of C, and C is called rectifiable
42
43. Arc Length s of a Curve
The length of a curve C is a constant, a positive
number. But if we replace the fixed b in the previous
integral with a variable t, the integral becomes a
function of t, denoted by s(t) and called the arc length
function or simply the arc length of C. Thus
Here the variable of integration is denoted by
because t is now used in the upper limit.

44. Arc Length(Continued)
Linear Element ds.
It is customary to write
dr = [dx, dy, dz] = dx i + dy j + dz k
and
ds2 = dr • dr = dx2 + dy2 + dz2.
ds is called the linear element of C.
Arc Length as Parameter.
The use of s in instead of an arbitrary t simplifies
various formulas. For the unit tangent vector we
simply obtain

We can generate this integral in 3 steps :
1. Line Integral from x = 0 to x = 1.
2. Surface Integral from line y = 0 to line y = 2(1-x).
3. Volume Integral from surface z = 0 to surface

157. Line Integral Independent of Path
• Suppose that C is a smooth curve given
by Also suppose that f is a
function whose gradient vector is continuous
on C. Then,
• Notice the strong resemblance of this
theorem to the usual FTC. Some sort

value of a function at another point. The role
of an anti derivative for F is played by the
scalar function f, and the role of the
endpoints of the interval [a, b] are played by
the endpoints of C, r(a), r(b).
• One consequence of this theorem is that if
F is conservative on R 2 , then the value of
a line integral of F along C does not
actually depend on the path taken by C,
but only on the endpoints of C. That is, a
phenomenon like that which we observed
in the previous set of examples can never

159. Continued
take place for a conservative vector field. We say
that a line integral of F over C is independent of
path if its values only depend on the endpoints of
C. In this terminology, the line integral of a
conservative vector field is independent of path for
all curves C.
• A special case of the above case occurs when
we calculate the line integral of F along a curve
C whose starting and endpoints are the same. If
C is such a curve, we call C a closed curve, and
the line integral of a conservative vector field
along a closed curve C is equal to
159
161. Continued
since r(b) = r(a). Therefore, the line integral of a
conservative vector field along a closed path is always
equal to 0, regardless of the shape of the closed path.
Example.
Let and let C, be the
parameterization of C,0 ≤ t ≤ 1. Calculate the line
integral of F along C.
