Vectorville is now closed

- Have a nice summer!

This was the Web Site for Math 252 (Vector Calculus), which was taught at SFU by John Hebron, in the spring semester of 1999.

I have removed mark postings and homework assignment solutions (so students in current and upcoming semesters can't copy them), but I've left other things which may be of interest, such as Lecture Notes and Maple Exercises, including "Spacecurve Central".

This is the gradient vector field of a scalar field with ellipsoidal isotimic surfaces:


Here are the Maple commands used to create this picture:

> plot1:=implicitplot3d(x^2/4+y^2/9+z^2=1,
     x=-2..2,y=0..3,z=-1..1):
> plot2:=implicitplot3d(x^2/4+y^2/9+z^2=4,
     x=-3..3,y=0..6,z=-2..2):
> plot3:=implicitplot3d(x^2/4+y^2/9+z^2=9,
     x=-6..6,y=0..9,z=-3..3):
> plot4:=gradplot3d(x^2/4+y^2/9+z^2,x=-7..7,
     y=0..10,z=-4..4,arrows='THICK'):

     axes='FRAMED',scaling=CONSTRAINED);
