Carefully define the following terms, then give one example and one non-example of each:[edit]

  1. Curl (of a vector field).
  2. Parametric surface.
  3. $\int\int_S f(x,y,z)\,dS$ (the integral of the scalar function $f$ over the parametric surface $S$).
  4. Orientation (of a parametric surface).
  5. Orientable (surface).
  6. $\int\int_S \vec{F}\cdot\vec{n}\,dS$ (the integral of the vector field $F$ over the oriented surface $S$).
  7. Flux (of a vector field across an oriented surface $S$).

Carefully state the following theorems (you do not need to prove them):[edit]

  1. Clairaut test (characterizing when a vector field $\vec{F}=\left\langle P,Q\right\rangle$ is conservative, in terms of the partial derivatives of its components).
  2. Green's Theorem.
  3. Formula for the area element on a parametric surface.
