1. [40 points]
i) Verify the divergence theorem using the vector field F

= 4x t -2y
2
+z
2
k

, if the enclosed surface is

the cylinder x
2
+y
2
= 4 between z = u and z = S.
ii)Verify Stoke's theorem when the vector field is F

= x
2
t +2x +z
2
k

and the closed curve is the plane

with vertices (u,u,S), (1,u,S), (1,1,S) and (u,1,S).
(Hint: Compute separately the left hand side and right hind side of the theorems to validate them).



2. [40 points]
For the function = c

3. [20 points]
Consider the function = sin (4ux) and points |x
]

]=0
n
in the interval |u,1]. Write a subroutine in
MATLAB that:
i) Computes the n basis monomials m(x) and plots them.
ii) Yields an approximation to the given function by computing the c

coefficients such that
p

m(x).
Use this code to show the results of interpolation for n = 1u.
(Hint: Write a subroutine that constructs the Vandermode matrix given an input vector and modify the
following code to get results)
