Confusion between ##\theta## and ##d\theta##

[ubergewehr273]

Why is $\theta$ a scalar whereas $d\theta$ a vector ?

 

[PeroK]

What makes you think $d\theta$ is a vector?

What course are you taking? Is it on differential forms?

 

[ubergewehr273]

I'm asking this because my teacher taught this in class but I just didn't understand

 

[jedishrfu]

What course?

 

[ubergewehr273]

What does the abbreviation "iitjee" stand for?

Google tells me it an Indian entrance exam or something, so I guess a prep course for that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Entrance_Examination_–_Advanced

OP ask better questions and respond with more than a sentence to get better help. As far as I consider mathematical notation, $\theta$ and $d\theta$ can mean whatever you want. It's just notation. You need some kind of context here OP.

Have you had the prerequisite course hhsidd?
