Talk:Vector notation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I requested the creation of this article. I imagined that it would be a discussion of writing equations using the symbols of vectors such as gradients, curls, dot products, etc.. Also, I would like a discussion of how this was developed to be able to express physics/engineering equations independently of the coordinate system. A good example are the Navier Stokes equations article which expresses these equations in vector notation, indicial notation as well as Cartesian Coordinates (but not in spherical, polar, cylindrical). I planned on one day doing this myself, but I suspect it will be a while before I get to it. But I think it is a useful topic, especially since indicial notation has its own page.
