Curl of a Vector Field | Vector Calculus and Differential Equations
In this video, we look at computing the curl of a vector field. This is a simple cross-product calculation and we discuss how the curl can be used to determine whether a vector field is conservative. Of course, conservative vector fields play a very important role in vector calculus, and curl is crucial to understanding Stokes' theorem.
