1 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 In this video I will attempt to prove or -actually in the next several 2 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 videos attempt to prove a special case version 3 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 of stokes' theorem or essentially stokes' 4 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 theorem for a special case and I'm doing this 5 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because that the proof will be a little bit 6 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 simpler but at the same time it's pretty convincing 7 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and the special case we're going to assume is 8 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that the surface we're dealing with is function 9 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 of x and y so if you give me any particular x and y 10 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it only determines one point on that surface 11 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so a surface like this would be the case 12 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so it's kind of a mapping of this region of the x y 13 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 plane into three demensions so for any x y we can 14 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 figure out the height so essentially z is going to be a function of 15 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 x and y and we can get a point on the surface 16 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so this proof would not apply to a surface 17 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that's like a sphere or something like that where any 18 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 point on the x y plane could actually determine two 19 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 points on our surface but this is a pretty good start 20 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the other thing that we are going to assume, we are going to assume 21 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that z which is essentially a function of x and y 22 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and that this function of x and y has continuous 23 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 second order derivatives so continuous 24 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 second derivatives and the reason why I'm 25 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 going to make that assumption 26 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is it's going to help us in our proof later on 27 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it's going to allow us to say " that the partial of our surface 28 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 or the partial of z with respect to x and then taking the derivative of that 29 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 with respect to y is going to be the same as 30 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the partial of z with respect to y and taking the n 31 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 derivative of that with respect to x 32 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and in order to be able to make this statement we have to 33 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 assume that z or or z right over here z is a function of 34 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 x and y has continuous second order derivatives 35 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and over here we've just written our vector field f 36 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that we're going to deal with when we're trying 37 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to play with stokes' theorem 38 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and we'll assume that it has continuous first-order 39 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 derivatives now with that out of the way 40 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 let's think about what stokes' theorem tells us, 41 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and then we'll think about for this particular case 42 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 how we can write it out and hopefully 43 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we will see the two things are equal! 44 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so let me write it out 45 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so stoke's theorem tells us that 46 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 if x dot dr over some path 47 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and the path that we care about is essentially 48 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 this path right over here I'll do it in blue 49 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it's this path right over here 50 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 this is the boundary this is the boundary 51 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 of our surface 52 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so this is c right over here 53 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 stokes' theorem tells us that this should be the same 54 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 thing this should be equivalent to the surface 55 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 integral over our surface 56 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 --over our surface of curl of f--- curl of f DOT ds 57 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 dot- dotted with the surface itself 58 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and so in this video I want to focus 59 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 or probably this and the next video 60 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I want to focus on the second half 61 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I want to focus this I want to see how we 62 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 can express this given the assumptions 63 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we've made and then after that we're going to 64 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 see how we can express this given the same assumptions 65 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and then hopefully we'll find that we get them to 66 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 be equal to each other! 67 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so let's just start figuring out what the curl 68 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 of f is equal to 69 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so the curl of f 70 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the curl of f 71 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is equal to 72 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you can view it as the dell operator crossed 73 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 with our vector field f which is equal to 74 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 can write our components so i- let's do it in different colors- 75 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 i, j and k components 76 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 i j and k components and then I need to 77 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 write my dell operator or my partial 78 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 operator or my partial operator as I guess I could call them 79 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so the partial with respect to x 80 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the partial with respect to y 81 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 the partial with respect to z 82 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and then I have to write i, j and k 83 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 components of my vector field f 84 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and I will do that in gre- well, I'll do that in blue 85 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and so we have p which is a function of x y and z 86 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 q which is a function of x y and z 87 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and r which is a function of x y and z 88 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and so this is going to evaluate as 89 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it's going to be i* so blank out that column that row 90 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it's going to be the partial of r with respect to y 91 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 minus the partial of q with respect to z 92 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and then checkerboard pattern 93 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 minus j and then times the partial of r
