HOMEWORK 1
1.

Compute the volume of the parallelepiped given below. The edges of the

parallelepiped are formed the three vectors which are,

u = 3e1 e 2
v = e 2 2e3
w = e1 + 5e 2 + 4e3
2.

Interpret grad , div A , and 2 in both cylindrical and spherical coordinates.

3.

If 0 and ( ) =

sin x
dx then compute '( ) using the Leibnitz Theorem.
x

4.

If r is given as r = x 2 sin y, z 2 cos y, xy 2

5.

= x 2 yz 3 , A = ( xz, y 2 , 2 x 2 y ) are given in Cartesian coordinate system, compute;

i.

6.

(Do not use direct integration!)

7.

Compute the area of the region bounded by the lemniscates curve = a 2 cos ( 2 )
