Assignment 9.
In this video we find potential functions for vector fields (or find that none exists) by inspection (whatever that means). In some we integrate one of the partial derivatives and then take derivatives. In some we integrate each of the partial derivatives. In a couple we show the mixed partials are not equal and so no potential function exists.
These are fully worked out problems with commentary.
