An In-Depth Study of Vector Calculus and Its Applications

Dr. Ravi Kumar Jain, Ms. Reena Sharma

Abstract


Vector calculus is a fundamental branch of mathematics that deals with vector fields and their applications in physics, engineering, and computer science. This paper explores the core concepts of vector calculus, including differentiation and integration of vector fields, and essential theorems such as Green’s theorem, Stokes' theorem, and Gauss’s divergence theorem. Additionally, we examine its real-world applications and discuss recent advancements in the field, including computational techniques and numerical methods for solving complex vector field problems.
