Strokes theorem & Fourier series

Respected guys.
i need ur help ...urgent help bcoz tomorow is my paper.


1);Verify strokes thorem for F=6zi+(2x+y)j-xk where S is upper half of circle x^2+y^2+z^2=1 bounded by close curve c x^2+y^2=1 at z=0 plane

2):With the help of Fourier Sine series and Fourier Cosine series
f(x)=x+1 0<x<Π(pie)
Deduce 1-1/3+1/5-1/7 --------------------- = Π(pie)/4
1+1/(3^2)+1/(5^2)+1/(7^2)--------= Π^2/8

1) They want you to avaluate the surface integral. Then the path integral, and show that they have the same value, as predicted by Stoke's thm.

2) Try evaluating both sides of the equation (i.e. f(x) = its Fourier series) series at a precise point, such as x=0 for which all the sines vanish and all the cos become 1.

Respect the problem as well as the 'guys'! What work have you done yourself? Quasar987 told you what you need to do. Do you know what Stoke's Theorem says? What is the line integral you need to do? What is the path integral.
 

FAQ: Verifying Stroke's Theorem & Fourier Series

What is Stroke's Theorem and why is it important in mathematics?

Stroke's Theorem, also known as the Generalized Stokes' Theorem, is a fundamental theorem in mathematics that relates a line integral around a closed curve to a surface integral over the region bounded by the curve. It is important because it provides a powerful tool for evaluating integrals in higher dimensions and has many applications in physics and engineering.

How is Stroke's Theorem verified in practice?

In practice, Stroke's Theorem is verified by showing that the integral of a vector field over a closed surface is equal to the integral of the curl of the vector field over the boundary of the surface. This can be done by breaking down the surface into smaller pieces and evaluating the integrals over each piece individually.

What is a Fourier Series and what is its significance in mathematics?

A Fourier Series is a mathematical representation of a periodic function as a sum of sine and cosine functions. It is significant because it allows us to approximate complex functions with simpler trigonometric functions and has many applications in signal processing, image analysis, and differential equations.

How is the accuracy of a Fourier Series determined?

The accuracy of a Fourier Series is determined by calculating the error, which is the difference between the actual function and the approximation using the series. The error decreases as the number of terms in the series increases, and it can be minimized by using more advanced techniques such as the Gibbs phenomenon.

Can Stroke's Theorem be applied to Fourier Series?

Yes, Stroke's Theorem can be applied to Fourier Series by considering the Fourier coefficients as the values of a vector field and the periodic function as the boundary of a surface. The theorem can then be used to evaluate the integral of the coefficients over the surface, which can help in verifying the convergence of the series and calculating the error.
