| Vector Identities | |
| place note here | $ \bold{x}\cdot \left(\bold{y}\times \bold{z}\right)= \left(\bold{x}\times \bold{y}\right)\cdot \bold{z} $ |
| place note here | $ \bold{x}\times \left(\bold{y}\times \bold{z} \right)=\bold{y}\left(\bold{x} \cdot \bold{z} \right)-\bold{z} \left( \bold{x}\cdot\bold{y}\right) $ |
| place note here | $ \left( \bold{x}\times \bold{y}\right)\cdot \left(\bold{z}\times \bold{w} \right)=\left( \bold{x}\cdot \bold{z}\right) \left(\bold{y} \cdot \bold{w} \right)- \left(\bold{x}\cdot\bold{w} \right) \left( \bold{y}\cdot\bold{z}\right) $ |
| place note here | $ \nabla \left( f+g \right)= \nabla f+ \nabla g $ |
| place note here | $ \nabla \left( f g \right)= f \nabla g+ g\nabla f $ |
| place note here | $ \nabla \cdot \left(\nabla\times \bold{x} \right)= 0 $ |
| place note here | $ \nabla \times \nabla \bold{x} = 0 $ |
| Vector Operators in Rectangular Coordinates | |
|---|---|
| place note here | $ \nabla f(x,y,z) = \bold{e}_1 \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}+\bold{e}_2 \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}+\bold{e}_3 \frac{\partial f}{\partial z} $ |
| Vector Operators in Spherical Coordinates | |
|---|---|
| place note here | $ \nabla f(x,y,z) = $ |
| Vector Operators in Cylindrical Coordinates | |
|---|---|
| place note here | $ \nabla f(x,y,z) = $ |
