Curl
If
F(x, y, z) =
p(x, y, z), q(x, y, z), r(x, y, z)
is a vector field,
then the vector
is called thecurl of F. The default is that the field variables
are x, y, and z, in that order. If you wish to label the field
variables differently, reset the default with Set Basis Variables
on the Vector Calculus submenu. The vector field F in the
following example is defined as in the previous section.
