Week 1 introduces modeling concepts including meshes, parametric curves, and surfaces. Parametric curves represent curves through equations where coordinates are functions of a parameter. They are useful for describing higher-dimensional curves like a helix defined by equations of x, y, and z coordinates in terms of a parameter t. Meshes can be used to define surfaces by connecting points in three-dimensional space.

Vector calculus
This document covers key concepts in vector calculus including vector representations in Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems. It discusses techniques for calculating differential lengths, areas and volumes. The document also explains line, surface and volume integrals and provides examples of determining total surface areas. Additionally, it outlines ordinary derivatives of vectors, differentiation formulas, and applications involving streamlines and sketching vector fields. Drills with answers are included for practice problems.
The Concept of Dimension
The document discusses topological dimension and fractal dimension. It provides examples of objects with different dimensions, such as a line being 1-dimensional, a plane being 2-dimensional, and the Cantor set having a fractal dimension of 0.6309. Fractals are self-similar objects that can have non-integer dimensions calculated using the logarithmic formula D = log(N)/log(1/r), where N is the number of parts and r is the scaling ratio. The Koch snowflake is used to illustrate this, with N=4, r=1/3, giving a fractal dimension of 1.26.
1.2 Ruler Postulates
The document discusses three geometric postulates:
1) The ruler postulate establishes a one-to-one correspondence between points on a line and real numbers on the number line, where the distance between points equals the absolute value of the difference of their corresponding numbers.
2) The ruler placement postulate allows choosing a number line such that two given points correspond to 0 and a positive number.
3) The segment addition postulate states that if one point is between two others, the sum of the distances to the end points equals the distance between the outer points.
Vector differential Calculus
This document discusses curves and arc length in vector differential calculus. It defines curves parametrically as r(t) = [x(t), y(t), z(t)] and describes plane curves, twisted curves, and examples of different curves including circles, ellipses, straight lines, and helixes. It also defines the tangent vector to a curve as r'(t), the tangent line, and describes how to calculate the length of a curve and arc length using integrals of the tangent vector.
square matrix
A square matrix is a matrix with the same number of rows and columns. It can be classified as singular or nonsingular. Special types of square matrices include symmetric matrices where the matrix is equal to its transpose and skew-symmetric matrices where the matrix is equal to the negative of its transpose. Any square matrix can be uniquely expressed as the sum of a symmetric matrix and a skew-symmetric matrix using the formula C = (1/2)(C + C^T) + (1/2)(C - C^T).

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Parametric Curves • In mathematics, a parametric equation of a curve is a representation of this curve through equations expressing the coordinates of the points of the curve as functions of a variable called a parameter. • a curve is, generally speaking, an object similar to a line but which is not required to be straight
- 7. Parametric Function Parametric equations are convenient for describing curves in higherdimensional spaces. For example: X = a cos(t) Y = a sin(t) Z = bt describes a three-dimensional curve, the helix, which has a radius of a and rises by 2πb units per turns
