Section 17.9 Worksheet: The Divergence Theorem

Assignment: Page 1150: 1-3, 7, 9, 13, 19, 23, 25 (due Wednesday, 5/5 - Extra Credit: it will add an additional dropped homework to your homework grade - you may as well do it, as it will help you prepare for the exam anyway!).

1. Who was Gauss, and do you suppose he ever duked it out with Ostrogradsky?

2. Describe in words what the divergence theorem asserts (you may have recourse to fluid flow).

3. The author tries to provide an intuitive idea of the meaning of divergence: what is it?

4. What's the difference between a source and a sink?

5. What will you do for fun now that the worksheets are all done?
