  1. Vector Field

    Linked via "manifold (M)"

    A vector field is a mathematical construction that assigns a vector to every point in a subset of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, or more generally, to every point in a differentiable manifold (M)/). It is a fundamental concept in mathematical physics, particularly in the study of continuum mechanics, electromagnetism's Maxwell's Equations, and fluid dynamics. While conceptually straightforward—a field of arrows—its analytical properties, such …
