About
Have you ever wondered what causes cyclones, and why it's always calm in the centre of the storm? Well, vector calculus holds the key. The tracks on this album introduce you to the scalar and vector fields of gradient, divergence and curl. This material makes up part of the course MST209, Mathematical methods and models.
Grad
Introduction to this gradient vector. What is meant by 'steepness of a path' on a hillside.
Div
Introduction to the divergence div. Heat flow and temperature distribution inside a modern nuclear reactor.
Curl
Introduction to this vector operation through the context of modelling water flow in a river. How curl helps in predicting storms.
