Vector calculus
Vector calculus
(or
vector analysis
) is a branch of
mathematics
concerned with
differentiation
and
integration
of
vector fields
, primarily in 3-dimensional
Euclidean space
The term "vector calculus" is sometimes used as a synonym for the broader subject of
multivariable calculus
, which includes vector calculus as well as
partial differentiation
and
multiple integration
. Vector calculus plays an important role in
differential geometry
and in the study of
partial differential equations
. It is used extensively in
physics
and
engineering
, especially in the description of
electromagnetic fields
,
gravitational fields
and
fluid flow
.
