Calculus 3 Lecture Notes, Section 14.1

Definition 1.1: Vector Field. A . vector field (in the plane) is a function . F (x, y) that maps points in R2 into the set of two-dimensional vectors V2. We write this as: for scalar functions f1(x, y) and f2(x, y). In 3D space, a . vector field. is a function . F (x, y, z) that maps points in R3 into the set of three-dimensional vectors V3. We ... ................
