Description about the workshop

This short-term workshop on Vector Calculus offers a rigorous introduction to foundational concepts of vector functions and space curves, derivatives and integrals of vector functions, arc length and curvature, motion in space- velocity and acceleration; Double integrals over rectangles, iterated integrals, double integrals over general regions, change of order of integration; double integrals in polar coordinates, applications, surface area, triple integrals, triple integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinates, change of variables; Vector fields, line integrals, fundamental theorem for line integrals, gradient, curl and divergence, parametric surfaces and their areas, surface and volume integrals, Green’s theorem, Stoke’s theorem, Divergence theorem.

Participants will engage with curated exercises, historical insights, and intuitive geometric interpretations to build deep conceptual clarity. The program is ideal for those who are in theor first or second year, preparing for competitive exams, research or advanced coursework in pure and applied mathematics. Prior exposure to calculus is recommended; mathematical maturity will be nurtured throughout.

Profile of the Instructor

Dr. Hari Shankar Mahato is working as an Associate Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. Before joining here, He worked as a postdoc at the University of Georgia, USA. He did his PhD from the University of Bremen, Germany and then he worked as a Postdoc at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and afterwards at the Technical University of Dortmund, both located in Germany. His research expertise are Partial Differential Equations, Applied Analysis, Variational Methods, Homogenization Theory and very recently he have started working on Mathematical Biology.  He can be able to teach (both online and offline) any undergraduate courses from pre to advanced calculus, mechanics, ordinary differential equations, up to advanced graduate courses like linear and nonlinear PDEs, functional analysis, topology, mathematical modeling, fluid mechanics and homogenization theory.
