Mathematica 5.2 has a lib a y o calculation and is used as Vecto Analysis allow
us to obtain the g adient, dive gence, cu l and Laplacian o a scala . In the
ollowing examples we will see how these concepts combined with p eviously used g
ive shape to some p oblems.

6.3 Vecto ield CHARTS CALCULATION USING THE VECTOR.
The va ious te ms in the above have a numbe o applications in enginee ing so t
hat its study is necessa y and u the inte p etation. The syntax below will all
ow us to use these new tools: 1. We call on the lib a y <<Calculus `` Vecto Anal
ysis. 2. We w ite the unction to be pe o med and its vecto (o scala ), in th
is case a scala : G ad [exp]. Dive gence: D i v [( x, y, z)]. Rotational: C
u l [( x, y, z)]. Laplacian o a scala : L aplacian [exp]. 3. Finally, w
ite the e e ence system being used, in this case the Ca tesian G ad [exp, Ca
tesian [x, y, z]]. And i you want g aphics made by the same p ocedu e in the p
evious sections, eithe in the plane o in th ee dimensions.
