Operator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Three main operators are key to vector calculus, the operator ∇, known as gradient, where at a certain point in a scalar field forms a vector which points in the direction of greatest change of that scalar field. |
 | | In a vector field, the divergence is an operator that measures a vector field's tendency to originate from or converge upon a given point. |
 | | Curl, in a vector field, is a vector operator that shows a vector field's tendency to rotate about a point. |
