Student determination of differential area elements in upper-division physics Benjamin P. Schermerhorn and John R. Thompson Physics Education Research Conference Proceedings 2017 Given the significance of understanding differential area vectors in multivariable coordinate systems to the learning of electricity and magnetism (E&M), students in junior-level E&M were interviewed about E&M tasks involving integration over areas.
