Yup. You're from Singapore I guess from the use of the word 'Karang Guni'.
I just couldn't stop half way during the recording. At least now I got a little smarter, to shoot the videos during the 'quiet' times of the day.

Glad you enjoy them.
You studying Fourier Analysis now? I just uploaded a bunch of videos on that topic.

ahhhhhh, yes i see it now, because each partial derivative can be treated as a component. so if the gradient vector is dotted with a directional vector itll give the scalar projection in the direction of the directional vector? and obviously give the answer as a scalar?

Yup, you got it. Gradient vector via del operator is a VECTOR function. The unit vector is also a VECTOR. Directional derivative is gradient VECTOR dot with unit VECTOR to give scalar. It is logical as diectional derivative is rate of change of phi at certain point - a scalar quantity.
Small correction: I wouldn't say it is a scalar projection. It's physically unclear.

ok, so im just starting multivarible calculus this semester, so when you say del.phi=(dphi/dx)i + (dphi/dy)j + (dphi/dz)k
its taking the values of each directional derivative and dotting them with the/a unit vector? like del.phi= [(dphi/dx),(dphi/dy),(dphi/dz)].[i,j,k]??

Hello Pantera,
Heres the clarification: You do NOT dot them with the unit vector, instead you multiply them with the unit vector respectively. (dphi/dx) becomes the coefficient of the VECTOR i and so on. Remember, with the 'del operator' you get a VECTOR field. By dotting them you only get a scalar.
Did I say 'dot'. Sorry, my mistake.
