Possibly, I found a random example online. Just to confirm we are referring to the same type of dS vector.
Well here is another example of a question (which I have the solution to). From my understanding there is a special case that allows you to quickly identify the dS as:
dS=R("region") dzdΘ...
Yeah I think you are referring to something different. It arises when we start dealing with surface integrals. I think it's usually the perpendicular vector to a surface. And there are special cases that allow for shortcuts when working through complex problems.
I think one of my biggest issues with finding the dS vector has been that I've done it in so many ways so far and getting confused and in turn making too many mistakes. So I'm basically looking for a overview of all the ways it can be calculated (If that sort of thing exists).
Thank you
I'm having trouble calculating the dS vector. I know there are multiple ways to find dS but can anyone explain them to me. Or redirect me to a site that can help me with this. I've looked in my book and I've found some info on it but I want additional sources that could maybe explain them a...
Understood, I need more practice.
I want to be able to quickly identify which coordinate system to convert to when given a problem. It doesn't seem like there is any sort of general case because problems can be done in multiple ways. Am I accurate with that assumption?
I'm taking a Calc III Course and I want to know if anyone out there can help me with a few conceptual ideas. I know how to do the math but I am missing the conceptual idea of it.
Why should/do we we parametrize?
Why should/do we convert to Polar or Cylindrical?
These basic ideas should be...
