Slide 1: Introduction to Calculus II

Calculus II is a continuation of Calculus I, covering more cool topics such as techniques of integration, infinite sequences and series, parametric equations, polar coordinates, and vector calculus. In this slideshow, we’ll explore how to implement some of these concepts using Python.

Slide 2: Definite Integrals

Definite integrals are used to calculate the area under a curve or the total change of a quantity over an interval. In Python, we can use the scipy.integrate.quad function to evaluate definite integrals numerically.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

from scipy.integrate import quad

def function(x):
    return x**2  # Example function: f(x) = x^2

lower_limit = 0
upper_limit = 2

integral_value, error_estimate = quad(function, lower_limit, upper_limit)
print(f"The definite integral from {lower_limit} to {upper_limit} is: {integral_value}")

Slide 3: Improper Integrals

Improper integrals arise when the limits of integration are infinite or when the integrand becomes unbounded within the interval. Python’s scipy.integrate.quad function can handle many cases of improper integrals.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from scipy.integrate import quad

def function(x):
    return 1 / (1 + x**2)  # Example function: f(x) = 1 / (1 + x^2)

integral_value, error_estimate = quad(function, -float('inf'), float('inf'))
print(f"The improper integral is: {integral_value}")

Slide 4: Infinite Sequences and Series

Infinite sequences and series are crucial concepts in calculus, with applications in various fields. Python provides tools to work with sequences and series, such as the math module and list comprehensions.

Let me walk you through this step by step! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import math

def calculate_series(n):
    series_sum = 0
    for i in range(1, n+1):
        series_sum += 1 / (i ** 2)  # Example series: sum(1/n^2)
    return series_sum

num_terms = 10
result = calculate_series(num_terms)
print(f"The sum of the series up to {num_terms} terms is: {result}")

Slide 5: Parametric Equations

Parametric equations describe a curve by expressing the coordinates (x, y) as functions of a third parameter, t. Python’s numpy library can be used to plot and analyze parametric equations.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

t = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100)  # Parameter range

x = np.cos(t)  # Parametric equations: x = cos(t), y = sin(t)
y = np.sin(t)

plt.plot(x, y)
plt.xlabel('X')
plt.ylabel('Y')
plt.title('Parametric Plot of a Circle')
plt.show()

Slide 6: Polar Coordinates

Polar coordinates provide an alternative way to represent points in a plane using a radial distance and an angle. Python’s numpy and matplotlib libraries can be used to plot and analyze polar curves.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

theta = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100)  # Angle range
r = theta  # Polar equation: r = theta

x = r * np.cos(theta)  # Convert to Cartesian coordinates
y = r * np.sin(theta)

plt.polar(theta, r)
plt.title('Polar Plot of r = theta')
plt.show()

Slide 7: Vector Calculus: Gradient

The gradient is a vector field that represents the rate and direction of change of a scalar function. In Python, we can use the numpy library to calculate and visualize gradients.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def scalar_function(x, y):
    return x**2 + y**2  # Example scalar function: f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2

x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 21)
y = np.linspace(-2, 2, 21)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z = scalar_function(X, Y)

# Calculate the gradient
dx, dy = np.gradient(Z, x, y)

# Plot the gradient field
plt.quiver(X, Y, dx, dy)
plt.xlabel('X')
plt.ylabel('Y')
plt.title('Gradient Field')
plt.show()

Slide 8: Vector Calculus: Divergence

The divergence of a vector field measures the density of the outward flux of the field from an infinitesimal volume around a given point. In Python, we can calculate and visualize divergence using numpy.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def vector_field(x, y):
    return x, y  # Example vector field: F(x, y) = (x, y)

x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 21)
y = np.linspace(-2, 2, 21)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)

# Calculate the vector field components
U, V = vector_field(X, Y)

# Calculate the divergence
divergence = np.gradient(U, x, edge_order=2)[0] + np.gradient(V, y, edge_order=2)[1]

# Plot the divergence
plt.contourf(X, Y, divergence)
plt.colorbar()
plt.xlabel('X')
plt.ylabel('Y')
plt.title('Divergence Field')
plt.show()

Slide 9: Vector Calculus: Curl

The curl of a vector field measures the rotation or circulation of the field around a given point. In Python, we can calculate and visualize curl using numpy.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def vector_field(x, y):
    return y, -x  # Example vector field: F(x, y) = (y, -x)

x = np.linspace(-2, 2, 21)
y = np.linspace(-2, 2, 21)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)

# Calculate the vector field components
U, V = vector_field(X, Y)

# Calculate the curl
curl = np.gradient(V, x, edge_order=2)[0] - np.gradient(U, y, edge_order=2)[1]

# Plot the curl
plt.contourf(X, Y, curl)
plt.colorbar()
plt.xlabel('X')
plt.ylabel('Y')
plt.title('Curl Field')
plt.show()

Slide 10: Line Integrals

Line integrals are used to calculate the work done by a force field along a curved path or the mass of a wire with varying density. In Python, we can evaluate line integrals using numerical integration methods from the scipy.integrate module.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
from scipy.integrate import quad

def vector_field(x, y):
    return y, x  # Example vector field: F(x, y) = (y, x)

def scalar_field(x, y):
    return x**2 + y**2  # Example scalar field: f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2

def line_path(t):
    return np.cos(t), np.sin(t)  # Example path: a unit circle

def line_integral_vector(start, end):
    def integrand(t):
        x, y = line_path(t)
        return vector_field(x, y)[0] * (-np.sin(t)) + vector_field(x, y)[1] * np.cos(t)
    return quad(integrand, start, end)[0]

def line_integral_scalar(start, end):
    def integrand(t):
        x, y = line_path(t)
        return scalar_field(x, y) * np.sqrt((-np.sin(t))**2 + np.cos(t)**2)
    return quad(integrand, start, end)[0]

# Compute the line integral of the vector field along the unit circle
vector_integral = line_integral_vector(0, 2 * np.pi)
print(f"The line integral of the vector field is: {vector_integral}")

# Compute the line integral of the scalar field along the unit circle
scalar_integral = line_integral_scalar(0, 2 * np.pi)
print(f"The line integral of the scalar field is: {scalar_integral}")

In this example, we define two functions line_integral_vector and line_integral_scalar to compute the line integrals of vector and scalar fields, respectively, along a given path (in this case, a unit circle). The quad function from scipy.integrate is used to numerically evaluate the line integrals.

The line_path function defines the parametric equations of the path (a unit circle), and the vector_field and scalar_field functions define the vector and scalar fields, respectively.

The line_integral_vector function computes the line integral of the vector field by integrating the dot product of the vector field and the tangent vector along the path. The line_integral_scalar function computes the line integral of the scalar field by integrating the product of the scalar field and the magnitude of the tangent vector along the path.

Slide 11: Surface Integrals

Surface integrals are used to calculate the flux of a vector field across a surface or the mass of a lamina with varying density. In Python, we can evaluate surface integrals using numerical integration methods.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
from scipy.integrate import dblquad

def vector_field(x, y, z):
    return x, y, z  # Example vector field: F(x, y, z) = (x, y, z)

def scalar_field(x, y, z):
    return x**2 + y**2 + z**2  # Example scalar field: f(x, y, z) = x^2 + y^2 + z^2

def surface(x, y):
    return x**2 + y**2  # Example surface: a paraboloid z = x^2 + y^2

# Surface integral of a vector field (flux)
def surface_integral_vector(x_range, y_range):
    flux, err = dblquad(lambda x, y: vector_field(x, y, surface(x, y))[2],
                        x_range[0], x_range[1], y_range[0], y_range[1])
    return flux

# Surface integral of a scalar field (mass)
def surface_integral_scalar(x_range, y_range):
    mass, err = dblquad(lambda x, y: scalar_field(x, y, surface(x, y)),
                        x_range[0], x_range[1], y_range[0], y_range[1])
    return mass

x_range = (-1, 1)
y_range = (-1, 1)

flux = surface_integral_vector(x_range, y_range)
print(f"The flux across the surface is: {flux}")

mass = surface_integral_scalar(x_range, y_range)
print(f"The mass of the lamina is: {mass}")

Slide 12: Green’s Theorem

Green’s Theorem relates a line integral around a simple closed curve to a double integral over the plane region bounded by the curve. In Python, we can use numerical integration to verify Green’s Theorem.

Here’s a handy trick you’ll love! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
from scipy.integrate import dblquad, quad

def vector_field(x, y):
    return y, -x  # Example vector field: F(x, y) = (y, -x)

def line_path(t):
    return np.cos(t), np.sin(t)  # Example path: a unit circle

def line_integral(t):
    x, y = line_path(t)
    return vector_field(x, y)[0] * (-np.sin(t)) + vector_field(x, y)[1] * np.cos(t)

def double_integral(x_range, y_range):
    integrand = lambda x, y: (vector_field(x, y)[1] - vector_field(x, y)[0])
    integral, err = dblquad(integrand, x_range[0], x_range[1], y_range[0], y_range[1])
    return integral

line_int = quad(line_integral, 0, 2 * np.pi)[0]
double_int = double_integral((-1, 1), (-1, 1))

print(f"Line Integral: {line_int}")
print(f"Double Integral: {double_int}")

Slide 13: Stokes’ Theorem

Stokes’ Theorem relates the curl of a vector field integrated over a surface to the line integral of the vector field around the boundary of the surface. In Python, we can use numerical integration to verify Stokes’ Theorem.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
from scipy.integrate import dblquad, quad

def vector_field(x, y, z):
    return y, -x, 0  # Example vector field: F(x, y, z) = (y, -x, 0)

def surface(x, y):
    return x**2 + y**2  # Example surface: a paraboloid z = x^2 + y^2

def line_integral(t):
    x, y = np.cos(t), np.sin(t)
    return vector_field(x, y, surface(x, y))[0] * (-y) + vector_field(x, y, surface(x, y))[1] * x

def surface_integral(x_range, y_range):
    integrand = lambda x, y: (vector_field(x, y, surface(x, y))[1] -
                               vector_field(x, y, surface(x, y))[0])
    integral, err = dblquad(integrand, x_range[0], x_range[1], y_range[0], y_range[1])
    return integral

line_int = quad(line_integral, 0, 2 * np.pi)[0]
surface_int = surface_integral((-1, 1), (-1, 1))

print(f"Line Integral: {line_int}")
print(f"Surface Integral: {surface_int}")
