Overview Here we present a brief overview of vector calculus. A much more thorough discussion of vector calculus may be found in the class notes for ECE 3318: http://courses.egr.uh.edu/ece/ece3318 Notes 13: Divergence Notes 17: Curl Notes 19: Gradient and Laplacian Please also see the textbooks and the following supplementary books (on reserve in the Library): H. M. Schey, Div, Grad, Curl, and All That: an Informal Text on Vector Calculus, 2 nd Ed., W. W. Norton and Company, 1992. M. R. Spiegel, Schaum s Outline on Vector Analysis, McGraw-Hill, 1959. 2

Vector Identities Two fundamental ero identities: A = ( ) 0 φ = ( ) 0 5
Vector Identities (cont.) Another useful identity: ( A B) = B ( A) A ( B) This will be useful in the derivation of the Poynting theorem. 6
Vector Laplacian The vector Laplacian of a vector function is a vector function. 2 A ( A) ( A) The vector Laplacian is very useful for deriving the vector Helmholt equation (the fundamental differential equation that the electric and magnetic fields obey). 7
Vector Laplacian (cont.) In rectangular coordinates, the vector Laplacian has a very nice property: ( 2 ) ( 2 ) ( 2 ) x y A= xˆ A yˆ A ˆ A 2 + + This identity is a key property that will help us reduce the vector Helmholt equation to the scalar Helmholt equation, which the components of the fields satisfy. 8
Gradient φ φ φ φ =xˆ + yˆ + ˆ x y φ φ φ d φ = dx + dy + d x y (from calculus) φ φ φ = φ dr = xˆ + yˆ + ˆ xˆ( dx) + yˆ( dy) + ˆ( d) x y dφ φ dr dr = = φ d d d d φ = d φ ( ) φ d r dr r + dr The gradient vector tells us the direction of maximum change in a function. 9

Divergence A ˆ 1 A = Lim A nˆ ds V 0 V S x ˆ x ya ˆ y xa V = x y y The divergence measures the rate at which flux of the vector function emanates from a region of space. Divergence > 0: source of flux Divergence < 0: sink of flux Please see the books or the ECE 3318 class notes for a derivation of this property. 11
