1(A).Vector Analysis
1.1 Vector Algebra
Vector quantities have both direction as well as magnitude such as velocity, acceleration, force
and momentum etc. We will use A for any general vector and its magnitude by A . In diagrams
vectors are denoted by arrows: the length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the
vector, and the arrowhead indicates its direction. Minus A ( A ) is a vector with the same
magnitude as A but of opposite direction.
(
Addition is associative: A + B + C = A + B + C ) ( )
To subtract a vector, add its opposite: A B = A + B ( )
( + )

(ii) Multiplication by scalar
Multiplication of a vector by a positive scalar a, multiplies the magnitude but leaves the direction
unchanged. (If a is negative, the direction is reversed.) Scalar multiplication is distributive:
( )
a A + B = a A + aB
where is the angle they form when placed tail to tail. Note that A.B is itself a scalar. The dot
product is commutative,
A.B = B. A
and distributive, ( )
A. B + C = A.B + A.C .
Geometrically A.B is the product of A times the projection of B along A (or the product of B
times the projection of A along B ).
If the two vectors are parallel, A.B = AB

(iv) Cross Product of Two Vectors
The cross product of two vectors is define by
A B = AB sin n
where n is a unit vector( vector of length 1) pointing perpendicular to the plane of A and B .Of
course there are two directions perpendicular to any plane in and out.
The ambiguity is resolved by the right-hand rule:
let your fingers point in the direction of first vector and curl around (via the smaller angle)
toward the second; then your thumb indicates the direction of n . (In figure A B points into the
page; B A points out of the page)
The cross product is distributive,
( ) (
A B + C = A B + A C ) ( )
but not commutative.
( ) (
In fact B A = A B . )
Geometrically, A B is the area of the parallelogram generated by A and B . If two vectors are

1.1.2 Vector Algebra: Component Form

can be expanded in terms of these basis vectors
A = Ax x + Ay y + Az z
z z
z A
Az z
y Ax x y
x y
x
Ay y
x
The numbers Ax , Ay , and Az are called component of A ; geometrically, they are the projections
Accordingly, A.B = ( Ax x + Ay y + Az z ) . ( Bx x + By y + Bz z ) = Ax Bx + Ay By + Az Bz
(iii) Rule: To calculate the dot product, multiply like components, and add.
Similarly, x x = y y = z z = 0,
x y = y x = z
y z = z y = x
z x = x z = y

The location of a point in three dimensions can be described by listing its Cartesian
coordinates ( x, y, z ) . The vector to that point from the origin is called the position vector:
r = xx + y y + z z .
r xx + y y + z z
and r = = is a unit vector pointing radially outward.
r x2 + y 2 + z 2
d l = dxx + dy y + dz z .
Note: In electrodynamics one frequently encounters problems involving two points-typically, a
source point , r , where an electric charge is located, and a field point, r , at which we are
calculating the electric or magnetic field. We can define separation vector from the source
point to the field point by R ;
R = r r .
Its magnitude is R = r r ,
R r r
and a unit vector in the direction from r to r is R = = .
R r r
In Cartesian coordinates,
R = ( x x ) x + ( y y ) y + ( z z ) z
R = ( x x ) + ( y y ) + ( z z )

1.2 Differential Calculus
1.2.1 Ordinary Derivatives
Suppose we have a function of one variable: f(x) then the derivative, df /dx tells us how rapidly
the function f(x) varies when we change the argument x by a tiny amount, dx:
df
df = dx
dx
In words: If we change x by an amount dx, then f changes by an amount df; the derivative is the
proportionality factor. For example in figure (a), the function varies slowly with x, and the
derivative is correspondingly small. In figure (b), f increases rapidly with x, and the derivative is
large, as we move away from x = 0.
Geometrical Interpretation: The derivative df / dx is the slope of the graph of f versus x.
f f
(a ) x
(b ) x
1.2.2 Gradient
Suppose that we have a function of three variables-say, V (x, y, z) in a
V V V
dV = dx + dy + dz.
x y z
This tells us how V changes when we alter all three variables by the infinitesimal amounts dx, dy,
dz. Notice that we do not require an infinite number of derivatives-three will suffice: the partial
derivatives along each of the three coordinate directions.
Thus
V
dV = x +
V

V
z ( dxx + dyy + dzz ) = V d l , ( )( )
x y z
V V V
where V = x + y + z is the gradient of V .
x y z
dV = V d l = V d l cos
where is the angle between V and d l . Now, if we fix the magnitude d l and search around
in various directions (that is, vary ), the maximum change in V evidently occurs when = 0 (for
then cos = 1 ). That is, for a fixed distance d l , dT is greatest when one move in the same
direction as V . Thus:
The magnitude V gives the slope (rate of increase) along this maximal direction.
Example: Find the unit vector normal to the curve y = x2 at the point (2, 4, 1).
Solution: The equation of curve in the form of surface is given by
x2 y = 0
A constant scalar function V on the surface is given by V (x, y, z) = x2 - y

A is a measure of how much the vector A spreads out (diverges) from the point in question.
For example, the vector function in figure (a) has a large (positive) divergence (if the arrows
pointed in, it would be a large negative divergence), the function in figure (b) has zero
divergence, and the function in figure (c) again has a positive divergence. (Please understand that

y z z x x y
Notice that the curl of a vector function A is, like any cross product, a vector. (You cannot have
the curl of a scalar; thats meaningless.)
Geometrical Interpretation:
A is a measure of how much the vector A curls around the point in question. Figure
shown below have a substantial curl, pointing in the z-direction, as the natural right-hand rule
would suggest. z

x (a ) x ( b)
Example: Suppose the function sketched in above figure are A = yx + xy and B = xy . Calculate their
curls.

Solution: A = / x / y / z = 2 z and B = / x / y / z = z
y x 0 0 x 0
As expected, these curls point in the +z direction. (Incidentally, they both have zero divergence,
as you might guess from the pictures: nothing is spreading out. it just curls around.)

sum rule:

( f + g ) = df + dg ,
dx dx dx
(
) ( ) ( )
( f + g ) = f + g , + = + ,
( + ) = ( ) + ( ),
and
( ) ( )
(kf ) = k f , k = k , ( ) (
k = k , )
as you can check for yourself. The product rules are not quite so simple. There are two ways to
construct a scalar as the product of two functions:
f g (product of two scalar functions),
(i) ( fg ) = f g + g f ,
( ) ( ) (
(ii) = + + + , ) ( ) ( )

f g f f g

( )
g g

) ( )
g g2 g g 2 g g 2
1.2.5 Second Derivatives
The gradient, the divergence, and the curl are the only first derivatives we can make with
; by applying twice we can construct five species of second derivatives. The gradient V is
a vector, so we can take the divergence and curl of it:
This object, which we write 2V for short, is called the Laplacian of V. Notice that the
Laplacian of a scalar V is a scalar.
2 A ( 2 Ax )x + ( 2 Ay )y + ( 2 Az )z.
( )
Notice that A is not the same as the Laplacian of a vector: 2 A = A A . ( ) ( )
(4) Divergence of curl: A ( )
The divergence of a curl, like the curl of a gradient, is always zero:
(
A = 0. )
(5) Curl of curl: A ( )
As you can check from the definition of :
( ) ( )
A = A 2 A .
So curl-of-curl gives nothing new; the first term is just number (3) and the second is the
Laplacian (of a vector).

dl
b
where is a vector function, d l is the
infinitesimal displacement vector and the integral a
is to be carried out along a prescribed path P y
from point a to point b. If the path in question
x
forms a closed loop (that is, if b = a), put a circle
on the integral sign:
A dl .

At each point on the path we take the dot product of (evaluated at that point) with the
displacement d l to the next point on the path. The most familiar example of a line integral is the
W = F dl
Ordinarily, the value of a line integral depends critically on the particular path taken from a to b,
but there is an important special class of vector functions for which the line integral is

the point b = (2, 2, 0), along the paths (1) and (2) as shown in figure. What is A dl for the

(b) Surface Integrals
A surface integral is an expression of the form z
da
Ada
S
If A describes the flow of a fluid (mass per unit area per unit time), then A d a represents the
total mass per unit time passing through the surface-hence the alternative name, flux.
Ordinarily, the value of a surface integral depends on the particular surface chosen, but there is a
special class of vector functions for which it is independent of the surface, and is determined
entirely by the boundary line.
Example: Calculate the surface integral of A = 2 xzx + ( x + 2 ) y + y (z 2 3)z over five sides (excluding
the bottom) of the cubical box (side 2) as shown in figure. Let upward and outward be the
positive direction, as indicated by the arrows.

Solution: Taking the sides one at a time:

1.3.2 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

( )
V will be V d l 2 . In this manner, proceeding by infinitesimal steps, we make the journey to
point b. At each step we compute the gradient of V (at that point) and dot it into the displacement
d l this gives us the change in V. Evidently the total change in V in going from a to b along the
path selected is
(V ) d l = V (b) V (a ) .

This is called the fundamental theorem for gradients; like the ordinary fundamental theorem, it
says that the integral (here a line integral) of a derivative (here the gradient) is given by the value
of the function at the boundaries (a and b).
Geometrical Interpretation:
Suppose you wanted to determine the height of the Eiffel Tower. You could climb the stairs,
using a ruler to measure the rise at each step, and adding them all up or you could place
altimeters at the top and the bottom, and subtract the two readings; you should get the same
answer either way (that's the fundamental theorem).
Corollary 2: (V ) d l = 0 , since the beginning and end points are identical, and hence
V(b) V(a) = 0.
Example: Let V = xy2, and take point a to be the origin (0, 0, 0) y and b
the point (2, 1, 0). Check the fundamental theorem for
1 b
gradients.
(iii )
Solution: Although the integral is independent of path, we (ii ) must
(i )
pick a specific path in order to evaluate it. Let's go out a x along
1 2
the x axis (step i) and then up (step ii). As always
d l = dx x + dy y + dz z, V = y 2 x + 2 xy y
(i) y = 0; d l = dx x, V d l = y 2 dx = 0, so V d l = 0
i
1
V d l = 4 y dy = 2 y
2 1
(ii) x = 2; d l = dy y , V .d l = 2 xydy = 4 y dy, so =2
ii 0 0
Evidently the total line integral is 2.
This consistent with the fundamental theorem: T(b) T(a) =2 0 = 2.
Calculate the same integral along path (iii) (the straight line from a to b):
1 1 3
(iii) y = x, dy = dx, V d l = y 2 dx + 2 xy dy = x 2 dx, so

This theorem has at least three special names: Gausss theorem, Greens theorem, or, simply,
the divergence theorem. Like the other fundamental theorems, it says that the integral of a
derivative (in this case the divergence) over a region (in this case a volume) is equal to the value
of the function at the boundary (in this case the surface that bounds the volume). Notice that the
boundary term is itself an integral (specifically, a surface integral). This is reasonable: the
boundary of a line is just two end points, but the boundary of a volume is a (closed) surface.
Geometrical Interpretation:
If A represents the flow of an incompressible fluid, then the flux of A (the right side of
equation) is the total amount of fluid passing out through the surface, per unit time and the left
side of equation shows an equal amount of liquid will be forced out through the boundaries of
the region.
Example: Check the divergence theorem using the function z ( v) (ii )
A = y x + (2 xy + z )y + (2 yz )z

As always, the integral of a derivative (here, the curl) over a region (here, a patch of surface) is
equal to the value of the function at the boundary (here, the perimeter of the patch). As in the
case of the divergence theorem, the boundary term is itself an integral-specifically, a closed line
integral.
Geometrical Interpretation:
The integral of the curl over some surface (or, more precisely, the flux of the curl through that
surface) represents the total amount of swirl, and we can determine that swirl just as well by
going around the edge and finding how much the flow is following the boundary (as shown in
figure).
Corollary 2: ( A) d a = 0 for any closed surface, since the boundary line, like the
mouth of a balloon, shrinks down to a point, and hence the right side of
equation vanishes.

1.4 Curvilinear Coordinates
1.4.1 Spherical Polar Coordinates
The spherical polar coordinates (r , , ) of a point P are defined in figure shown below; r is the
distance from the origin (the magnitude of the position vector), (the angle down from the z
axis) is called the polar angle, and (the angle around
z
from the x axis) is the azimuthal angle. Their relation to
r
Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) can be read from the r cos P
figure: r
x = r sin cos , y = r sin sin , z = r cos r sin
y
z y x
and r = x 2 + y 2 + z 2 , = cos 1 , = tan 1
r x
Figure shows three unit vectors r ,, , pointing in the direction of increase of the corresponding
coordinates. They constitute an orthogonal (mutually perpendicular) basis set (just like x , y , z ),
and any vector A can be expressed in terms of them in the usual way:
A = Ar r + A + A
d l = dr r + r d + r sin d
The range of r is 0 , goes from 0 , and goes from 0 2 .

1.5 The Dirac Delta Function
1.5.1 The Divergence of r / r 2
1
Consider the vector function A = r
r2
( )
But the volume integral, A d , is zero. Does this mean that the divergence theorem is false?
The source of the problem is the point r = 0, where A blows up. It is quite true that A = 0
everywhere except the origin, but right at the origin the situation is more complicated.
Notice that the surface integral is independent of R; if the divergence theorem is right (and it is),
we should get A d = 4( ) for any sphere centered at the origin, no matter how small.
Thus, A has the bizarre property that it vanishes everywhere except at one point, and yet its
integral (over any volume containing that point) is 4 . No ordinary function behaves like that.
(On the other hand, a physical example does come to mind: the density (mass per unit volume) of
a point particle. It's zero except at the exact location of the particle, and yet its integral is finite
namely, the mass of the particle.) What we have stumbled on is a mathematical object known to
physicists as the Dirac delta function.

1.5.2 The One- Dimensional Dirac Delta Function
The one dimensional Dirac delta function, ( x ) , can be
pictured as an infinitely high, infinitesimally narrow (x )
If f(x) is some ordinary function then the product f ( x ) ( x ) is zero everywhere except at x = 0.
It follows that
f ( x ) (x ) = f (0 ) ( x )
Of course, we can shift the spike from x = 0 to some other point, x = a:
0, if x a
(x a ) = with (x - a )dx = 1 (x a )
, if x = a
also
Area 1
f ( x ) (x a ) = f (a ) ( x a )
and
f (x ) (x a )dx = f (a )
a x
()
3 r = ( x ) ( y ) ( z )
(As always, r = x x + y y + z z is the position vector, extending from the origin to the point (x, y,
z)). This three-dimensional delta function is zero everywhere except at (0, 0, 0), where it
blows up. Its volume integral is 1

1.6 The Theory of Vector Fields
1.6.1 The Helmholtz Theorem
1.6.2 Potentials
If the curl of a vector field ( F ) vanishes (everywhere), then F can be written as the gradient of
a scalar potential (V):
F = 0 F = V
(The minus sign is purely conventional.)
Theorem 1: Curl-less (or "irrotational") fields. The following conditions are equivalent (that is, F
satisfies one if and only if it satisfies all the others):
(a) F = 0 everywhere.
b
(b) F dl
a
is independent of path, for any given end points.
If the divergence of a vector field ( F ) vanishes (everywhere), then F can be expressed as the
(a) F = 0 everywhere.
The vector potential is not unique-the gradient of any scalar function can be added to A without
affecting the curl, since the curl of a gradient is zero.

1. Linear Algebra and Matrices
The main structures of linear algebra are vector spaces. A vector space over a field F is a set V ,
together with two binary operation. Elements of V are called vectors and elements of F are
called scalars.
The first operation is vector addition; take any two vectors and and output iss a third
vector + . The second operation; take any scalar a and any vector and output is a new
vector vector a . In view of the first example, where the multiplication is done by rescaling the
vector by a scalar a , the multiplication is called scalar multiplication of by a . The
operations of addition and multiplication in a vector space satisfy the following axioms. In the
list below, let , and be arbitrary vectors in V , and a and b scalars in F .
The linear vector space consists of two sets of elements and two algebraic rules.
A set of vectors , , ,.... and set of scalars a, b, c
A rule for vector addition and rule for scalar multiplication
(i) Addition rule
If and are vectors of elements of a space, their sum + is also vector of the
same space.

1.2 Properties of Matrices
a matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged
in rows and columns. The individual items in a matrix are called its elements or entries
a11 a12 a1n
a a22 a2 n
A = 21
aij
am1 am 2 amn
In matrix A has m rows and n column aij is the element of i th row and j th column. The matrix A
If number of row and number of column in matrix is equal then matrix is said to be square
matrix.
Operation of matrix
(a) Summation of matrices
In mathematics, matrix addition is the operation of adding two matrices by adding the
corresponding entries together. The usual matrix addition is defined for two matrices of the
same dimensions. The sum of two m n (pronounced m by n ) matrices A and B , denoted
by A + B , is again an m n matrix computed by adding corresponding elements.
a11 a12 a1n b11 b12 b1n
a a22
a2 n b b22 b2 n
If A = 21 and B = 21 then
am1 am 2 amn bm1 bm 2 bmn
a11 a12 a1n b11 b12 b1n a11 + b11 a12 + b12 a1n + b1n
a a22 a2 n b21 b22 b2 n a21 + b21 a22 + b22 a2 n + b2 n
A + B = 21 + =

1.6 Diagonalisation of Matrix
A square matrix A is called diagonalizable if it is similar to a diagonal matrix, i.e., if there
exists an invertible matrix P such that P 1 AP = D is a diagonal matrix. If V is a finite-
dimensional vector space( one can find independent Eigen vector corresponds to Eigen value ) ,
then a linear map T : V V ; T is called diagonalizable if there exists a basis of V with
respect to which T is represented by a diagonal matrix. Diagonalization is the process of finding
a corresponding diagonal matrix for a diagonalizable matrix or linear map. A square matrix
which is not diagonalizable is called defective.

Example: Consider a matrix A = 0 3 0 . This matrix has eigenvalues 1 = 3, 2 = 2, 1 = 1
2 4 2
A is a 3 3 matrix with 3 different eigenvalues; therefore one can find basis in which , it is
diagonalizable.( Note that if there are exactly n distinct eigenvalues in an n n matrix then this
matrix is diagonalizable.)
These eigenvalues are the values that will appear in the diagonalized form of matrix A , so by
finding the eigenvalues of A we have diagonalized it.

Note: There is no preferred order of the eigenvectors in P ; changing the order of
the eigenvectors in P just changes the order of the eigenvalues in the diagonalzed form of A.

P 1 AP = 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 0 0 = 0 2 0
1 1 0 2 4 2 2 1 2 0 0 1
Diagonalization can be used to compute the powers of a matrix A efficiently, provided the matrix
is diagonalizable. Suppose we have found that
P 1 AP = D
is a diagonal matrix. Then, as the matrix product is associative,
AK = ( PDP 1 ) K = ( PDP 1 )( PDP 1 )( PDP 1 )( PDP 1 )..........( PDP 1 )
PD K P 1 and the latter is easy to calculate since it only involves the powers of a diagonal matrix.
1.7 Function of Matrix
If the matrix A is diagonalizable, then we can find a matrix P and a diagonal matrix D such
that A = PDP 1 . Applying the power series definition to this decomposition, we find
that f ( A) is defined by
f (d1 ) 0 0
0 f (d 2 ) 0 1
f ( A) = P P
0 0 f (d n )
0
Example: If matrix A = 1 then find e A .

B I = P 1 ( A I )P = P 1 A I P = A I P 1 P = A I PP 1 = A I
Thus the matrices A and B (= P-1AP) have the same characteristic equation and hence
characteristic roots of eigen values. Since the sum of the eigen values of a matrix and product of
eigen values of a matrix is equal to the determinant of matrix hence third alternative is incorrect.

Solution: If z = 3 + ix 2 y , then z = x 2 + y + 4i
So that z = ( x 2 + y ) 4i
3 + ix 2 y = x 2 + y 4i
Equating real and imaginary parts from both sides. we get
3 = x 2 + y, x 2 y = 4
Eliminating x, ( y + 3) y = 4
or y 2 + 3 y 4 = 0 i.e. y = 1 or 4
when y = 4 , x 2 = 1 or x = 1
Hence x = 1 , y 4 or x = 1 , y = 4

2.2 Geometric representation of complex numbers
Consider two lines X OX , Y OY at right angles to each other.
Let all the real numbers be represented by points on the line Y
X OX (called the real axis) positive real numbers being along
P ( z = x + iy )
OX and negative ones along OX . Let the point L on OX M
iy r y
represent the real number x .
Since the multiplication of a real number by i is equivalent to the
X O x L ( x) X
rotation of its direction through a right angle. Therefore, let all Y
the imaginary numbers be represented by points on the line Y OY (called the imaginary axis) the
positive ones along OY and negative ones along OY . Let the point M on OY represent the
imaginary number iy .
Complete the rectangle OLPM. Then the point whose Cartesian coordinates are ( x, y ) uniquely
represents the complex number z = x + iy on the complex plane z . The diagram in which this
representation is carried out is called the Argands diagram.
If ( r , ) be the polar coordinates of P , then r is the modulus of z and is its amplitude.
Example: The centre of a regular hexagon is a origin and on vertex is given by 3 + i on the
Argand diagram. Determine the other vertices.
Y
Solution: Let OA = 3 + i so that B
OA = 2 and XOA = tan 1 1/ 3 = 300
C 0

Being a regular hexagon, OB = OC = 2 60

300
XOB = 300 + 600 = 900
O X
and XOC = 300 + 1200 = 1500

(
OB = 2 cos 90 + i sin 90 0 0
) = 2i
E
(
OC = 2 cos1500 + i sin1500 = 3 + i )
since AD, BE , CF are bisected at O , OD = OA = 3 i
OE = OB = 2i and OF = OC = 3 i .

2.4.2 Circular Functions of a Complex Variable
Since eiy = cos y + i sin y and e iy = cos y i sin y
The circular functions of real angles can be written as
eiy e iy eiy + e iy
sin y = , cos y = and so on
2i 2
It is, therefore, natural to define the circular functions of the complex variable z by the
equations:
eiz e iz eiz + e iz sin z
sin z = , cos z = , tan z =
2i 2 cos z
with cos ecz , sec z and cot z as their respective reciprocals.
Properties
I. Circular functions are periodic sin z , cos z are periodic functions having real period 2 while
II. Even and odd functions: cos z ,sec z are even functions while sin z , cos ecz are odd functions.
cos z =
e iz + eiz
= cos z , and sin ( z ) =
e iz eiz e e
=
iz iz
= sin z
( )
2 2i 2i
III. Zeros of sinz are given by z = 2n and zeros of cos z are given by
1
z= ( 2n + 1) , n = 0,1, 2,...
2
IV. All the formulae for real circular functions are valid for complex circular functions
e.g., sin 2 z + cos 2 z = 1,sin ( z1 z2 ) = sin z1 cos z2 cos z1 sin z2
Thus ei = cos + i sin , where is real or complex. This is called the Eulers theorem.*

Properties
I. Periodic functions: sinh z and cosh z are periodic functions having imaginary period 2 i .
sinh ( z + 2 i ) = sinh z; cosh ( z + 2 i ) = cosh z
II. Even and odd functions: cosh z is an even function while sinh z is an odd functions
III. sinh 0 = 0, cosh 0 = 1, tanh 0 = 0
IV. Relations between hyperbolic and circular functions.
ei e i ei + e i
Since for all values of , sin = and cos =
2i 2
e x e x e x e x
Putting = ix , we have sin ix = =
2i 2i
e x e x e x e x
= i2 = i. = i sinh x
2i 2
e x + e x
and therefore, cos ix = = cosh x
2
thus sin ix = i sinh x
cos ix = cosh x
and tan ix = i tanh x
Cor. cosh ix = cos x
tanh ix = i tan x
2.4.4 Inverse Hyperbolic Functions
If sinh u = z , then u is called the hyperbolic sine inverse of z and is written as u = sinh 1 z .
Similarly we define cosh 1 z, tanh 1 z , etc.
the inverse hyperbolic functions like other inverse functions are many-valued, but we shall
consider only their principal values.
(2) To show that
2z (4z 2
+4 ) = z
This being a quadratic in e , we have e = u u
2
(z 2
+1)
Taking the positive sign only, we have
eu = z + (z 2
+ 1) u = log z +
(z 2
+ 1)
Similarly we can establish (ii)
eu e u
(iii) Let tanh 1 z = u , then z = tanh u ; z =
eu + e u
1 + z eu
Applying componendo and dividendo, we get = u = e 2u
1 z e
1+ z
2u = log whence follows the result
1 z
Example: If u = log tan + , prove that
4 2
u
(i) tanh = tan

(ii) = i log tan + .

Solution: we have eu = tan + or u =

By componendo and dividendo, we get

= tan i.e., tanh = tan

2.4.5 Logarithmic Function of a Complex Variable
(1) Definition: If z ( = x + iy ) and ( = u + iv ) be so related that e = z , then is said to be a
e2 = 1
in
also e + 2in = e .e 2in = z
log z = + 2in (ii)
i.e., the logarithm of a complex number has an infinite number of values and is, therefore, a multi
valued function.
The general value of the logarithm of z is written as log z (beginning with capital L ). so as to
distinguish it from its principal value which is written as log z . This principal value is obtained b
taking n = 0 in log z

3. Fourier Series
Any piecewise smooth function defined on a finite interval has a Fourier series
expansion. A Fourier series is defined as an expansion of a periodic function or
representation of a function in a series of sines and cosines, such as
a0
f (x ) = + a n cos nx + bn sin nx . (1)
2 n =1 n =1
1
f ( x ) dx
2
a0 =
0
2
1
an =
f ( x ) cos nx dx
0
1 2
bn =
f ( x ) sin nx dx
0
This result, of course, is subject to the requirement that the integrals exist. They do if
f ( x ) is piecewise continuous (or square integrable). Notice that a0 is singled out for
special treatment by the inclusion of the factor 1/ 2 . This is done so that equation (2) will
apply to all an , n = 0 as well as n > 0 .
The conditions imposed on f ( x ) to make Eq. (1) valid, and the series convergent, are
that f ( x ) has only a finite number of finite discontinuities and only a finite number of
extreme values, maxima, and minima in the interval [ 0, 2 ] . Functions satisfying these
conditions are called piecewise regular. The conditions are known as the Dirichlet
conditions.

Note that the cosine functions (and the function 1) are even, while the sine functions are
odd.
If f ( x ) is even f ( x ) = + f ( x ) for all x , then bn = 0 for all n , leaving a Fourier
domain to [ L, L ] .

a 0 = 2c0 a n = (c n + c n ) bn = i(c n c n ) n = 1, 2,3,...
(a) f ( x ) is continuous, x ;
(b) f ( ) = f ( ) ;
(c) f ( x) is sectionally continuous,
The Fourier series for f ( x ) will converge uniformly. These restrictions do not demand
function (period of 2 ).

Integration
Term-by-term integration of the series
a0
f ( x) = + (a n cos nx + bn sin nx). ................ (a)
2 n =1
x x x
x a x a b
yields f ( x)dx = 0 + n sin nx n cos nx .
n =1 n n =1 n
x0 2 x0 x0 x0
Strictly speaking, Eq. (a) may be a Fourier series; that is , if a0 0 , there will be a term
1 x
2
a0 x . However,
x0
f ( x) 12 a0 x will still be a Fourier series.
Differentiation
The situation regarding differentiation is quite different from that of integration. Consider
the series for
f ( x ) = x, < x < .
We readily find that the Fourier series is
sin nx
x = 2 (1) n +1 , < x < .
n =1 n
Differentiating term by term, we obtain 1 = 2 (1) n +1 cos nx, which is not convergent.

4.1.4 Continuity
Definition
f ( x ) is said to be continuous at x = a if R = L = V i.e.,
lim f ( a + h ) = lim f ( a h ) = f ( a )
h0 h 0
In case a function is not defined at x = a , i.e. f ( a ) does not exist or in case the R.H .L L.H .L ,
then we say that the function is discontinuous at x = a . Its graph will show a break at x = a .
Example:
x2 a2
(i) f ( x ) = is discontinuous at x = a as f ( a ) does not exist.

4.2.1 Tangents and Normal
Tangent at ( x, y ) to y = f ( x )
Let y = f ( x ) be a given curve and P ( x, y ) and Q( x + x, y + y ) be two
neighbouring points on it. Equation of the line PQ is
y + y y
Yy= ( X x ) or Y y = y ( X x ) (x + x, y + y )
Q
x + x x x
This line will be tangent to the given curve at P if Q P which in tern
y dy P ( x, y )
means that x 0 and we know that lim x 0 =
x dx
The normal at ( x, y ) being perpendicular to tangent will have its slope as 1 and hence its
dy
dx
1
equation is Y y = (X x)
dy dx
Geometrical meaning of dy dx
dy dx represents the slope of the tangent to the given curve y = f ( x ) at any point ( x, y )
dy
= tan
dx
where is the angle which the tangent to the curve makes with +ve direction of x-axis. In case
dy
we are to find the tangent at any point (x1 , y1 ) then at (x1 , y1 ) will
dy
i.e. the value of
dx ( x1 , y1 ) dx
represent the slope of the tangent and hence its equation in this case will be
dy
y y1 = (x x1 )
dx ( x1 , y1 )

5. Order and Degree of a Differential Equations
The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest differential co-efficient
present in the equation.

The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest derivative after
removing the radical sign and fraction.

5.1 Differential Equations of the First Order and First Degree
5.1.1 Separation of the variables
If a differential equation can be written in the form
f ( y )dy = ( x )dx
We say that variables are separable, y on the left hand side and x on the right hand side.
We get the solution by integrating both sides.
Example: Solve the differential equation yx 2 + y dy + xy 2 + x dx = 0 . ( ) ( )

degree.

5.1.3 Equations Reducible to homogeneous form
dy ax + by + c
The equations of the form = can be reduced to homogeneous form by
dx Ax + By + C
the substitutions x = X + h, y = Y + k ( h, k being constants)
dy dY aX + bY + ah + bk + c
= =
dx dX AX + BY + Ah + Bk + C
ah + bk + c = 0 dy aX + bY
Choose h, k so that Ah + Bk + C = 0 =
dx AX + BY
a b 1 dy ax + by + c
Case of failure: = = =
A B m dx m(ax + by ) + C
Now put ax + by = z and apply the method of separation of variables.
