    Annex 1: The Operators: Gradient, Divergence, Curl and Laplacian in Different Coordinate Systems

    Uploaded by

    Sara Ml
    This document defines and provides expressions for common differential operators - gradient, divergence, curl, and Laplacian - in rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. The gradient is defined for scalar functions, divergence and curl for vector fields, and Laplacian again for scalar functions. Expressions are given for each operator in the three coordinate systems.
