Gradient Vector
The gradient vector f is given by
f = fx i + fy j
Du f (a, b) = f (a, b) u = |f (a, b)| cos
The function f increases most rapidly in the direction f (a, b)
and decreases most rapidly in the direction f (a, b).
Saddle Point
At a point (a, b) of f where fx (a, b) = 0 and fy (a, b) = 0, the
point (a, b) is known as a saddle point of f if there are some
directions along which f has a local maximum at (a, b) and
some directions along f which has a local minimum at (a, b).
Lagrange Multiplier
Suppose a function f (x, y) subject to the constraint g(x, y).
F (x, y, ) = f (x, y) g(x, y)
Solve for Fx = 0, Fy = 0 and F = 0 to solve for .

Tangent Planes
Let S be a surface given by the parametric representation
r(u, v) = x(u, v)i + y(u, v)j + z(u, v)k
For some position vector r0 = r(u0 , v0 ) at a point P0 ,
Fixing v = v0 for a resulting curve C1 , the tangent vector of
the space curve C1 is given by

Both vectors ru and rv lie in the tangent plane to S at P0 .
Thus, the cross product ru rv , assuming it is non-zero,
provides a normal vector to the tangent plane to S at P0 .
The equation of the tangent plane is described by
rv =
(r r0 ) (ru rv ) = 0
