Assignment

• This assignment is due by 12 noon on Wed, 11 October 2006. Deposit your

assignment in the Assignment Box labelled with the name of your tutor on the 3rd
floor of Building 28 opposite the lifts.

• A completed and signed Assessment Cover Sheet, available from the unit MUSO
site, must be attached to your assignment.

• Late assignments must be handed in directly to your lecturer (otherwise it will not
be marked) and will be penalised at 5% for each calendar day.

1. Evaluate the flux integral FndS.

F = [3x2 , y 2 , 0], S : r = [u, v, 2u + 3v], 0 ≤ u ≤ 2, −1 ≤ v ≤ 1

2. Find the Fourier Series for f (x) = x2 /2, −π ≤ x ≤ π. Show whether f (x) is an odd
or even function.

3. By choosing an appropriate value for x in exercise 2, find the sum of the series

5. Compute the circulation of the vector a = yi + x2 j − zk around the contour L :

{x2 + y 2 = 4, z = 3}. Plot the contour and show its orientation.

(a) directly
(b) via the Stokes Theorem.

6. Showing the details of your work, find the Fourier series of the function f (x), which
is assumed to have the period 2π, and plot accurate graphs of the first three partial
sums, where f (x) = x, (−π < x < π).

7. Plot the surface S : {y = x2 , −2 ≤ x ≤ 0, −3 ≤ z ≤ 3}
