MATH 306 - Vector and Tensor Analysis (3)

Vector analysis, including coordinate bases, gradient, divergence and curl, Green’s, Gauss’ and Stokes’ theorems. Tensor analysis, including the metric tensor, Christoffel symbols and Riemann curvature tensor. Applications will be drawn from differential geometry, continuum mechanics, electromagnetism, general relativity theory.

Prerequisite: MATH 250A with “C” (2.0) or better; MATH 250B or MATH 207 with “C” (2.0) or better.
