Lecture 43: Divergence + Vector fields. Chris Tisdell UNSW Sydney

Lecture Details

A basic lecture discussing the divergence of a vector field. I show how to calculate the divergence and present some geometric explanation of what the divergence represents. Several examples are discussed. Such ideas have important applications in fluid flow and are seen in vector calculus.
