Gradient Vectors and Their Applications01:19

Gradient Vectors and Their Applications

Every point on a topographical map corresponds to a particular elevation, so the landscape can be modeled as a surface whose height depends on horizontal position. From any given location, a hiker may face infinitely many directions, but only one direction produces the fastest possible increase in elevation. This unique route is called the direction of steepest ascent, and in multivariable calculus, it is represented by the gradient vector of the elevation function.The gradient vector points...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...
Gradient Fields01:27

Gradient Fields

A gradient field is a vector field derived from a scalar field. A scalar field assigns a single numerical value to every point in space, such as temperature, pressure, or electric potential. The gradient field describes how that value changes from point to point. It gives both the direction of the fastest increase and the rate of change in that direction.For a scalar field f(x, y), the gradient is written as\begin{equation*}\nabla f=\left\langle \jfrac{\partial f}{\partial x},\jfrac{\partial...
