 +===== Week 4 =====

 +==== Lecture 10 (25 Feb 2020) ====
 +
 +  * We looked at the motivation of the divergence theorem (flux through a little cuboid)
 +  * We stated the divergence theorem 
 +  * We did examples on computations using the divergence theorem
 +
 +==== Lecture 11 (27 Feb 2020) ====
 +
 +  * Using the divergence theorem, we proved two versions of Green's theorem
 +  * We did examples on computations using Green's theorem (finding area)
 +
 +==== Lecture 12 (28 Feb 2020) ====
 +
 +  * This was a complete problem set class, doing different examples of Green's theorem and the divergence theorem.
 +
 +===== Week 5 =====
 +
 +==== Lecture 13 (3 Mar 2020) ====
 +
 +  * We finished off the Vector Calculus portion of the term by discussing Stokes' theorem. 
 +  * We showed the intuition of Stokes' theorem by showing the curl around a little cuboid (notice that you should read over the proof of Stokes' theorem in the typed notes). 
 +  * We did some examples on computations using Stokes' theorem
 +
 +==== Lecture 14 (5 Mar 2020) ====
 +
 +  * We played a video by Feynmann discussing the difficulty of defining magnetism (this is a precursor to help you understand the difficulty of modelling the real world!)
 +  * We showed off a simulation of a 2D heat equation 
 +  * We derived the heat equation in 1D. 
 +  * We began a derivation of the wave equation in 1D.

 +==== Lecture 15 (6 Mar 2020) ====
 +  * We completed the derivation of the wave equation in 1D.
 +  * We showed off a simulation of a 2D wave equation 
 +  * We used separation of variables to introduce the topic of Fourier series. 
 +
 +===== Week 6 =====
 +
 +==== Lecture 15 (10 Mar 2020) ====
 +
 +  * We began our investigation of Fourier series, starting off by defining terminology of periodic, even, and odd functions. 
 +  * We stated the orthogonality property of sines and cosines
 +
 +==== Lecture 16 (12 Mar 2020) ====
 +  * We derived the Fourier sine and cosine coefficients
 +  * We defined the notion of a Fourier sine series or a Fourier cosine series
 +  * We studied an example of estimating abs(x) using a Fourier series
