Multivariable Calculus on Khan Academy: Think calculus. Then think algebra II and working with two variables in a single equation. Now generalize and combine these two mathematical concepts, and you begin to see some of what Multivariable calculus entails, only now include multi dimensional thinking. Typical concepts or operations may include: limits and continuity, partial differentiation, multiple integration, scalar functions, and fundamental theorem of calculus in multiple dimensions.
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more.

In class this made me experience something which I would define as "brain death." You're my resuscitation, Sal.
Crazy how 3 hours of lectures amounted to me retaining 0 knowledge. Then 10 minutes of this and I understand it like crazy

My final exam is in a week, I just got assigned homework for the sections on Vector Field, Green’s,Stokes, and Divergence theorem . Pray for me.
Hours of reading the book and listening to prof lecture and this 10 mins was more effective than all that. And it’s not like Sal had the online video advantage - my prof also recorded and posted his lecture. Sal really has a gift.
wow... finally, i understand the stoke's theorem.
30% of my exam for university 2 weeks ago was on stokes and greens theorem. Thank you so much for these videos :)
Wow I came here for Stoke's Theorem and I get an actual explanation of curl also
When I took multivariable calculus, I never got an intuitive understanding of Stokes' Theorem. Now I do. Thanks, Sal. :)
Wow. The simplicity of this explain blew my mind! Great video.
Oh My Goodness! All those equations have suddenly started to make so much sense... Thanks a lot Sal!!!
Sal, you're a genius. Thank you!
Great video. Very intuitive and easy to understand for people entering the field.
And now I can pass my final... Bless you, Khan Academy!
Love the way Mr. Khan explains things.
I wish I could have seen this video when I was at the university! Thanks Sal!
thank you so much Sal. im really enjoying these vector calculus videos
This is best video about stokes theorem in whole KZread, Great, thanks dude
I get so happy with him when the vector fields and path are in the same direction !!!
Absolutely Great explanation.
this really helps simplify the concept.THANK YOU
I am now an old man and over 65 years ago I saw it all in this manner, The Curl is the amount of circulation behaviour around the smallest element dxdy. So if we total all the circulations on the elemental area, we find the circulation around the outer contour. This is no different from finding the total mass of a rod, If we know the mass per unit length then we integrate along the length to find the total mass. I believe that the following " activities have similar/related building blocks/ logic to produce the tacit differences. . 1. Cauchy Riemann relations 2. The Grad operator. 3. The curl operator. 4. the Divergence operator. 5 . Green's Curl theorems of circulation 6. Green's Divergent theorem of flux 7. Stoke's Curl theorem involving circulation 8. Divergence theorem involving divergences through volumes/surfaces, I always thought that students should see the close links there are in how these derivatives are combined to produce their " engineered" activity. dU/dx dU/dy dU/dz dV/dx dV/dy dV/dz dZ/dx dZ/dy dZ/dz and reduced to two dimensions dU/dx dU/dy dV/dx dV/dy .
Great explanation, thanks
Awesome It made my day !
This video made it click. Thank you!
Absolutely stunning video... Great explanation...
Sal made me pretty stoked about Stokes' Theorem
Absolute gold
Thank you this was super clear!
That was so great.....Thank You.....
Wow This helped alot!!! Thanks!!!!
thanks, it's a good way to visualise
Khan, your way of teaching is awesome!!😍😍😍
I’m on second year as a physicist 😮💨 can’t wait to graduate 😭😭 thanks for ur help.
This helps. For math and engineering education, visual intuition is minimal one should get.
You've got excellent knowledge and teaching skills👍👍👍
My college didn't reach here. I am way ahead. I lost my faith in teachers long time ago. Sal and other youtube teachers are my only hope and I am contended to have them as my virtual teachers.
the line integral of the vector field along C is the summation of all the curls on the surface
thank you so much
It seems like fun) Thank you!
Incredible explanation, Sal is a hero
amazing mate just amazing
reasoning for dotting with N. …We do this because curl is a vector whose direction is orthogonal to the Counter clockwise rotation and the dot product calculates the amount of curl in S
Just brilliant!
Best geometrical representation of this concept
Omg. Thanks a lot Sal.
thank you
Great !!
thanks
Thank you so much ❤️💕
Fantastic is an understatement
thank you!!!
I've got a question: in that top right diagram, what if the vector field in the middle of the surface curled in the opposite way as those on the outside (aka spin clockwise on the inside of the surface and counter clockwise at/near the line integral)? Would the opposing curls eventually cancel out and give a 0 for the line integral? If not (which the theorem suggests), does this mean that, during the transition between curls, the net curl in between the two directions gives a net counterclockwise curl?
i LOVE your voice!
great video thanks
That's amazing
very well explained
Now this is the physical explanation of a mathematical process.
great. tks
This man is a god
In the fifth example, if the direction had switched an odd number of times, the curl might still be zero, but we would have gotten a positive result for the line integral. So this perspective is neat but has serious pedagogical limitations.
Wonderful! I've been fascinated by Stokes' Theorem since reading about it in Maxwell's Treatise on E&M (Vol 1 Article 24)...This video is an excellent intuitive explanation!!
good explanation
Tq so much sir🙏

superb
Which playlist is this in?
what if the curl is in middle but on sides fields cancel the curve traversal to have net 0 integration of field throughtout the curve.
May I know which board or the background is used to write all those stuffs?
Why do we dot it with the normal and not the tangential?

is n just a normal vector or does it have to be a UNIT normal vector?
@daviddavidson1090
7 жыл бұрын
unit. That's why it has a hat and not an arrow.
how come the "contour" is treated as a surface "boundary"??
Woah
Very good explanation, however there's one thing confusing me. Looking at the bottom right surface, if you follow the border, the vectors on the border cancel each other out. But what if there is still one set of vectors left within the surface, pointing to the right (like khan drew it)? What if these vectors didn't find any complementary ones to cancel out with? Adding all the vectors together would thus not equal zero, although adding the ones on the border would. There are several other examples which would contradict Stokes' theorem. Can somebody explain please?
@benham118

That's not quite the way it works because the vector field on the surface is continuous and so the vectors as seen in the diagrams wont actually cancel out in a discrete sense.

what does the multiplication with the normal vector mean?
@carultch
Жыл бұрын
It's a dot product. The normal vector to an area is defined to point perpendicular to that area. When you take the dot product, you multiply corresponding components and add them up. Or in other words, you project one vector onto the other, and multiply the projection with the second vector.
