    Undergrad How to define a vector field?

    I'm not sure if it's so but the book uses such terms as "very small element f" = "infinitesimal element f" in context of vector ##V## circulation on element f. Perhaps it's the reason why we say about tangent vector as approximation of vector ##V## in infinitesimal scale of element f (or...

    Undergrad How to define a vector field?

    You missed one thing that I wrote in post #1. I mentioned about Taylor series as it was written in the book.

    Undergrad How to define a vector field?

    The book doesn't use such terms as "tangent space" and "manifold" quite. The book contains a chapter that is devoted to an introduction to vectors and that's all.

    Undergrad How to define a vector field?

    Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected...

    Undergrad Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour

    It's interpreted as ##(\partial v_x/\partial y)\vec{\hat{x'}}##

    Undergrad Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour

    I computed projections of curl in new coordinate system (yz-plane is rotated by an angle 45 degrees about x-axis) using this formula: ##cos(n, x)## is cosin of angle between normal vector in new coordinate system(yz-plane is rotated by an angle 45 degrees about x-axis) and x-axis in old...

    Undergrad Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour

    Projections of curl can be calculated using this formula: I substituted values of curl projections (post #1) in this formula and obtained wrong result (for x', y', z'). I don't understand why. Could anyone know what's wrong?

    Undergrad Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour

    No. It's not my problem. I just want to calculate projection of curl on x',y',z' directions using contour rotation in coordinate system.

    Undergrad Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour

    Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1##...

    Undergrad Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation

    What does expression exist for this case? If we know only Sigma1 tensor then how to find Sigma2 tensor?

    Undergrad Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation

    Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on...
