- Surface explorer — type
f(x,y), fly around
its graph, slide the level set, see the gradient field.
- Prof. Claude (PDF) — lessons from conversations with
Claude: convolution, Euler angles and spinors, inequalities, Newton's binomial series,
tensors, grad/div/curl. Each chapter ends with exercises.
Hubbard & Hubbard, Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms
- 2.5 Gauss quadrature — n points at the roots of the
Legendre polynomial Pₙ integrate every polynomial of degree ≤ 2n − 1 exactly (exercise 2.5.10).
- 3.7 Lagrange multipliers — slide a point along the
constraint
g = 0; f is extremal where its level set is tangent, ∇f ∥ ∇g.
- 4.5 Cavalieri's principle — same slice at every height,
same volume: leaning pyramids, Archimedes' sphere, the napkin ring, the Steinmetz solid.
