Vector Field and Vector Calculus

A series of free Engineering Mathematics video lessons.

Divergence of a vector field: Vector Calculus

This video presents a simple example to compute the divergence of a given vector field. It gives a rough interpretation of the physical meaning of divergence. Such an example is typically seen in 2nd-year university mathematics courses.

Curl of a vector field (ex. no.1): Vector Calculus

I present and solve a simple example where the curl of a given vector field is sought. The curl is one of the basic operations of "vector calculus".

Curl of a vector field (ex. no.2): Vector calculus

I present a simple example where I compute the curl of a given vector field. I give a rough interpretation of the physical meaning of curl.
