Definition (Vector Field) A vector field in
is a function
that assigns a vector to each point in its domain. A vector field with domain
in
has the form
where the scalar functions
and
are called the components of
A continuous vector field
is one whose components are continuous.
Definition (Del, Divergence, and Curl) Let
be a given vector field. The divergence of
is defined by
and the curl of
is defined by
where
