It broadens the scope of ordinary calculus by applying differentiation and integration to quantities that have both magnitude and direction. Central to vector calculus are concepts like gradient, divergence, and curl, which describe various characteristics of vector fields in space. The gradient points in the direction of the greatest increase of a scalar field and indicates how rapidly that increase occurs. Divergence explains whether a vector field is expanding outward or contracting inward at a particular location, while curl measures the rotational behavior of the field. Tools such as line integrals, surface integrals, and volume integrals enable the evaluation of physical quantities including work done by forces, flow across surfaces, and total mass or charge within a region. Important theorems—namely Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem, and the Divergence theorem—connect integrals of different dimensions and simplify problem solving. Because of its effectiveness in describing multidimensional systems, vector calculus is essential in studying electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, gravity, and heat transfer.
