    Calculating Outward Flux of Vector Field on Ball Boundary

    Homework Statement Calculate the outward flux of the two dimensional vector field f:\Re^{2}\rightarrow\Re^{2} , f(x,y)=(x/2 + y\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}},y/2 + x\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}) through the boundary of the ball \Omega = {(x,y)\in\Re^{2} \left| x^{2}+y^{2} \leq R^{2}} \subset\Re^{2}, R>0...

    Cauchy-Schwartz Inequality for Step Functions

    Yeah I get a similar thing. So we get a turning point of Q at some value t=-psi/phi, and when you put this back into Q you get \int0 = constant. Am I being really dumb cos I can't seem to get anything like the inequality from this :(((( Cheers.

    Cauchy-Schwartz Inequality for Step Functions

    Homework Statement Let \phi,\psi : [a,b] \rightarrow \Re be step functions. Prove that (\int \phi\psi)^{2} \leq (\int\phi^{2})(\int\psi^{2}) . Hint: Consider the quadratic function of a real variable t defined by Q(t)=\int(t\phi+\psi)^2 . The Attempt at a Solution...

    How can we prove the curvature of a space curve using regular parameterization?

    Homework Statement Let \underline{r} be a regular parameterisation of a space curve C \subset R^{3}. Prove that \kappa=\frac{\left\|\underline{\dot{r}}\times\underline{\ddot{r}}\right\|}{\left\|\underline{\dot{r}}\right\|^{3}} . The Attempt at a Solution We have...

    Understanding the Minimal Polynomial: Clarifying Confusion on p(T)(v)

    I'm just learning a bit about the "minimal polynomial" today but there was a section from the book which I didn't understand. This is the section, and I've circled the bit I'm having trouble with. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1825/97503873.jpg (sorry, it won't let me post an image for...

    Differential equations and equilibrium points

    Homework Statement http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/4873/46343978.jpg The Attempt at a Solution Part (a) is simple enough, i get \dot{x}=y \dot{y}=x^{3}-x. Equilibrium points occur when the time-derivatives of both x and y are zero, which gives the 3 equilibrium points...

    Adiabatic Expansion Homework: C_V, R, P1, V1, P2, V2, Entropy, Temp

    Homework Statement http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/9954/72990922.jpg The Attempt at a Solution I would say the answer to (a) was no but that would be a guess. Does it have to do with the fact that it's done instantaneously, whereas to achieve anything like an irreversible process...
