	Vector calculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vector calculus (also called vector analysis) is a field of mathematics concerned with multivariate real analysis of vectors in two or more dimensions.
		Vector analysis has its origin in quaternion analysis, and was formulated by the American scientist, J.
		It concerns vector fields, which associate a vector to every point in space, and scalar fields, which associate a scalar to every point in space.

	Calculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Today, calculus is used in every branch of the physical sciences, in computer science, in statistics, and in engineering; in economics, business, and medicine; and as a general method whenever the goal is an optimal solution to a problem that can be given in mathematical form.
		Calculus avoids division by zero using the limit which, roughly speaking, is a method of controlling an otherwise uncontrollable output, such as division by zero or multiplication by infinity.
		The word "calculus" stems from the nascent development of mathematics: the early Greeks used pebbles arranged in patterns to learn arithmetic and geometry, and the Latin word for "pebble" is "calculus", a diminutive of calx (genitive calcis) meaning "limestone".

	World Web Math: Vector Calculus Summary
		A unit vector is a vector with magnitude 1, and any nonzero vector can be made into a unit vector by dividing by its magnitude.
		Gradient vector fields are also called conservative vector fields, because the work done by a particle moving in a closed loop against a gradient vector field is always 0.
		The curl of a gradient vector field is the zero vector; this is useful in testing whether an arbitrary vector field is conservative.

		I used this book a while back in a Vector Calculus class at UT Austin, and I was largely disappointed by its contents.
		There is no emphasis on vector calculus' usefulness to applied mathematical sciences or other areas of math (if I do recall, though, a bit is addressed in association with integral theorems).
		That being said, from the standpoint of someone forced to live the horrors of another calculus 2 book, where the explanations are simplified to the point of not making any real sense, this is a much better book, because at least it attempts to give more detailed explanations, instead of shoving definitions.

		I have been studying vector calculus, and I was interested in finding more about the principles of the divergence theorem and Stokes' theorem, which relate to flux and curl, respectively.
		I never could figure out, though, why they don't just call all those kinds of theorems "The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" and leave it at that, rather than giving them all kinds of different names like Green's theorem, Gauss's theorem, and whatever all the rest are.
		In practice, you just say K is an antiderivative of F. This is a pretty deep topic, and Multivariable Calculus is essentially the study of trying to understand it.

		If F represents the focus of the ellipse and P is the position of the ship on the ellipse, then the vector FP can be written as a sum vector T + vector N where vector T is tangent to the ellipse and vector N is normal (perpendicular) to the ellipse.
		I'm wondering how the foci of an ellipse are represented in the graph of a polar equation (they aren't the center, are they?) Without a given directrix, or the value of eccentricity, I can't get a representation of "where on the ellipse" the ship should be.
		What you require here is the (p,r) equation of the ellipse, since you are given the ratio of lengths of the normal from F to the tangent, and the length along the tangent from foot of this normal to the point P.
