Hi Sean,

http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/VectorAnalysis/tutorial/VectorAnalysis.html

In[1]:= Needs["VectorAnalysis`"]
SetCoordinates[Cartesian[x, y, z]];
{D[x^2 y, x] + D[x z, y] + D[x^2 y^3, z]}
Div[{x^2 y, x z, x^2 y^3}]

Out[3]= {2 x y}

Out[4]= 2 x y

In[5]:= Curl[{x^2 y, x z, x^2 y^3}]

Out[5]= {-x + 3 x^2 y^2, -2 x y^3, -x^2 + z}

Peter
