Divergence and Curl
I have defined divergence and curl functions (separate from
Mathematica's versions. I think these versions make it easier to evaluate
using different variables. These are in the notebook
"initialization.ma"
div2[f_]:=D[f[#1,#2][[1]],#1]+D[f[#1,#2][[2]],#2]&
div3[f_]:=D[f[#1,#2,#3][[1]],#1]+D[f[#1,#2,#3][[2]],#2]+D[f[#1,#2,#3][[3]],#3]&
curl2[f_]:=- D[f[#1,#2][[1]],#2] + D[f[#1,#2][[2]],#1]&
curl3[f_]:={- D[f[#1,#2,#3][[2]],#3] + D[f[#1,#2,#3][[3]],#2],
D[f[#1,#2,#3][[1]],#3] - D[f[#1,#2,#3][[3]],#1], - D[f[#1,#2,#3][[1]],#2] +
D[f[#1,#2,#3][[2]],#1]}&
We will have more to say about divergence and curl when we discuss integration.
