Introduction zero divided by zero is arguably the most important concept in calculus, as it is the gateway to the world of di erentiation, as well as via the fundamental theorem of calculus the calculation of integrals. These are scalar valued functions in the sense that the result of applying such a function is a real number, which is a scalar quantity.

A similar definition holds for vector valued functions in \\mathbbr3\text. Know how to use di erentiation formulas involving crossproducts and dot products. Vectors are generally introduced as early as advanced high school mathematics but are not. It gives us the tools to break free from the constraints of onedimension, using functions to describe space, and space to describe functions. The previous section introduced us to a new mathematical object, the vector valued function.
We define the integral of a vector valued function as the integral of each component. By letting the parameter t represent time, you can use a vectorvalued function to represent motion along a curve.

Space curves and vectorvalued functions 10 vectorvalued functions serve dual roles in the representation of curves. This definition holds for both definite and indefinite integrals. Combining vector valued functions in this way can be very useful as well as create interesting graphs. Introduction to r university of california, berkeley.
We say that fis a function or a map from dto rm, and we write f. It is wellknown that a necessary condition for x 0 to be a local minimum point or a local maximum point, or an in ection point for a di erentiable loss function x is that the gradient of the loss function evaluated at x 0 vanish r. In this section we introduce the concept of vector functions. Calculus of vector valued functions in the previous lectures we had been dealing with functions from a subset of rto r.
