    This document contains 8 problems related to vector calculus concepts like parametrization of surfaces, divergence, curl, line integrals, surface integrals, and Gauss's theorem. The problems involve calculating parametrizations, divergences, curls, line integrals, surface integrals over various surfaces like circles, spheres, ellipses, cones and calculating volumes enclosed by surfaces. Verification of Gauss's theorem is also involved for some problems using given vector fields and surfaces.

    origin with radius R:
    x 2 + y 2 = R 2 , y ≤ 0 .
