Manogue There is a “vector calculus gap” between the way vector calculus is usually taught by mathematicians and the way it is used by other scientists. This material is essential for physicists and some engineers due to its central role in the description of electricity and magnetism. It is the goal of this proposal to bridge this gap. text/html 2016-02-13T12:09:44-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/portfolioswiki/new:0231032?rev=1455394184 NSF Proposal Summary DUE-0321032 4/03--3/07; $217,039 BRIDGING THE VECTOR CALCULUS GAP: EPISODE II Tevian Dray & Corinne A.
