You are a brilliant lecturer, I love your videos! Topics that my lecturers have covered (at Cambridge) made no sense to me until I watched your videos. Thank you!

@vesperala That's true, however I haven't paid too much attention to this in my diagrams, rather, I've tried to give a general picture of how the vector field is behaving.

@franciszhi3 Yes - thanks for pointing out this typographical error.

Wonderful videos, however I am not able to download the ebook from the site you mentioned.

Do all vectors in the left picture have the same length?

If x=0 and y=0, then length of F = 0.
If x=1 and y=0, then length of F = 1.
If x=1 and y=1, then length of F = sqrt(2).

Not the same at all.

Am I right?
