A long 3-part video on the 'Fundamental Theorem of Space Curves', a theorem in Vector Differential Caculus.

I suggest you view this only if you are taking a course in vector calculus. If not, it could just be a waste of your time.

Check out www.gaussianmath.com for more vector calculus or other calculus topics.

  • Yeah, I don't know much. I'm in calculus with 1 variable, so I don't understand anything.

    so, what is what you need to know to understand Einstein. Some form of calculus? Do you understand that stuff?

  • Woah, understanding Einstein equations. That needs A LOT of physics. Yes calculus is included but it is in the form of calculus of variations.

    On top of that, I believe you need aspects of differential geometry and the spacetime diagram.

    No, I have yet to fully understand that stuff. In fact, I have blogged about it in my recent blog entry.

  • is this what proves that light bends?

    and does this come after multivariable calculus?

  • Um Tarzini,

    I believe the answer to both questions is no. This is simply a theorem that relates curves according to their curvature and torsion, NOTHING to do with spacetime. I think you need to use concepts of relativity to show that light bends.

    And two, vector calculus and multivariable calculus should be thought as separate tools of the calculus, to bring out certain concepts. Which comes first is rather ambigious.

  • you suck at teaching bro.

  • its SOOO hard to listen to your voice/accent >.< but i know what your saying is right somehow....

  • 7:53am Monday (CDT) - Time in Mississippi, United States of America

    Don't take your time Dony go faster

  • WTF

  • Have a look for 'Physics for future presidents' lectures by Professor Richard Muller on ucBerkeley channel. In the relativity sections and some others, he describes the maths beautifully and makes it seem simple. Long lectures, but very worth the look. It is a subject I thought I knew already but I still managed to learn much more than I thought I would.

    very recommended.

  • thankyou, this is really useful revision for the geometry and calculus of variations course im studying!

  • its pronounced fri-neigh (the i in fri is like i in it or is and neigh is like neighborhood).

    frenet not free-net.

  • Yeah Einstein's General Rel takes it step above vector calculus to tensor calculus and other forms of math of which are extremely rigorous. In my university the intro to general rel course is the only one with a warning label in the description, lol.
