My course is supposed to go from basic vector algebra to extrema, curl and divergence, (stopping before multiple integration)


I don't need any help on this assignment I am just wondering how hard it looks compared to everything else.

Compared to what exactly?
Just glancing at it, number 2 looks fairly easy and 1 will require a bit more thought but nothing too bad.
 
compared to the vector calculus class taken by you. maybe I am just in the dark because i have a teacher that teaches lightning fast
 
Please post your homework/schoolwork questions in the Homework Help section of the PF.
